Alan Munde Gazette - Made to Last
From Alan's Banjo College: "MADE TO LAST - This sparkling new offering features many bluegrass classics to-be. Four really fine performances of Elliott Rogers' compositions, Wave Goodbye, Little Teardrops, From the Penthouse to the Poorhouse, Haul Away, and two by Bill Honker gems, Made to Last, and Above the Waterline. I offer a couple of new instrumentals with the steaming versions of Traditional Family Breakdown, and The Run of '89. Steve Smith, accompanied with unsurpassed mandolin styling, sings a song of love lost with Fool's Gold, and soars on the bad man ballad John Hardy. Nate Lee on fiddle shines as no other on all the cuts and offers a twin fiddle arrangement of the Bill Monroe classic Brown County Breakdown. Bluegrass Made To Last."

I found this great Nashcamp facility video on Bruce & Kelly Stockwell's YouTube page. It's hard not to recognize all the iconic folks playing here!
