Bill Nershi and Michael Kang are playing the lift line for ski passes during the 1993 Ski Free Event in Crested Butte, CO. This is the same year The String Cheese Incident got together. I found this searching through some old stock footage. Pretty Cool.

guitarharrisy.blogspot.com Life is like a mountain railroad With an engineer so brave We must make this run successful From the cradle to the grave Watch the curves, the fills the tunnels Never falter, never fail Keep your hand upon the throttle And your eye upon the rail Oh, blessed Savior, thou wilt guide us Til we reach that blissful shore Where the angels wait to join us In God's grace forever more As you roll across the trestle Spanning Jordan's swelling tide You behold the union depot Into which your train will glide There you'll meet the superintendent God the Father, God the Son With a hearty, joyous greeting Weary pilgrim, welcome home

CHRIS SMITHER’s unique brand of blues-infused folk has, over the years, proven him to be what The Boston Herald aptly deemed "a one-man band of blues-inspired power that can justly be called locomotive." After hearing Lightnin’ Hopkins album Blues in the Bottle in 1960, Chris was inspired and began performing. His career has stretched four decades and 13 albums. He has a long standing relationship with Bonnie Raitt that took shape in 1972 when Bonnie recorded Chris’s “Love Me Like a Man" and “I Feel The Same” in 1973. His latest is Time Stands Still and is his first CD released on his own label Mighty Albert. It’s a masterful work that stands as the quintessence of his life’s work while throwing in some new wrinkles that reflect where he’s been and what he’s encountered since the last time around. G2 BLUEGRASS BAND hails from Sweden and are one of the hottest acts on the bluegrass scene. The band began at a late night jam session at a bluegrass festival in their home country in 2005. In 2007, the band competed at EWOB (European World Of Bluegrass) in Holland and won the title #1 European Bluegrass Band and got a free ticket to go to IBMA’s in 2008 and present their music from their debut CD Where The Tall Grass Grows on Cosmos Records. This year the band has toured across Europe and the US, played on the biggest morning show on national Swedish TV, opened for Kris Kristofferson in Sweden, and started to work on their next CD.
