We came up with the idea of playing in all 12 keys and 12 time signatures. The band I was able to assemble included some heroes who later became virtually family to me — Jerry Douglas and Sam Bush. He played a huge part, especially in the Northeast. We wrote a couple of concertos together where Edgar was the leader and I was the collaborator. I sent a cassette of the show to Rounder on a lark, and they got excited about this all star bluegrass mash-up.
