My pickin' friend's find back in seventy seven
Was a twelve-inch platter of acoustical heaven
To the photo shoot, banjo was apparently late
Just fiddle, bass, mandos, a D-28
There were two well-known names, and anticipation
Had spread far and wide in the mandolin nation
We slapped on that puppy and listened agog
To a newly formed band and its leader the Dawg
I studied that record and following discs
Inspiring precision and dangerous risks
Dawg found a place where Monroe met Coltrane
The world was now different, Grisman to blame
We could have predicted when first he was heard
As player, producer, reel to reel nerd
Union Grove convention prize winning picking
And recording Wake Frankfield in Red Allen's kitchen
Soon he teamed up with Spud Boy and Pete
And they hired on Vassar for the fiddler's seat
They made a live album on Owlesly's recorder
Record stores fought to keep up with the orders
A flick with Grappelli, soon after a tour
Projects with Tiny, Tony, Jethro and more
If you've got a Jones and Dawg barks you seek
You can hear him on Car Talk every week
I want to be clear in my next to last sentence
I love how his style has now boiled to its essence
Mostly though before this riff ends
I'll say that I love my old white bearded friend
