Yes Paul was listening to Lemmy. :-)  
I'm not a Motorhead fan or anything like that. Don't know much of they music except Ace Of Spades. It was a good documentary and half way through I realised I'd seen it before but it was worth seeing again. :-)

I ass-u-me it is the one where he was asked what his most precious possession was in his apartment.  And without missing a beat he says 'my son, Paul'.
 
You gotta love a man that has his priorities straight.

Yep that's the one.

Okay, this kinda' creeps me out a little bit...
 

 

 
Hat-tip to Forest. (ed_zeppelin)

I have the DVD set of this ! It kept me well distracted and amused from my flu symptoms the last time that I was afflicted . I am glad that I own the DVD.

I love those things! Whoever comes up with that stuff is a genius. I finally know what to train my pet spider crab to do!
 
I'll bet I know what inspired that first one, Greg. The 42-string Pikasso guitar Linda Manzer made for Pat Metheny:
 

I have that Mark and Chet CD.  Thanks for posting the video link; I hadn't listened to it in quite a while.

I like that Marbletown video; thanks!

@davehouck - Marbletown again, as played by some local folks... (well, local to us anyway) =)
 

 
I love how they took Knopfler's little bluesy hook and made it a more central theme to the tune. This is the best sounding carbon fiber guitar I ever heard. (ordinarily, Tim plays a 1934 Martin D-18... I've played it, and yes it's awesome!)  
 
Folks, I'm officially sick of shoveling snow. Thankfully, we were spared the brunt of the storm here, only ended up with a foot, give or take a couple inches depending on where in the region you are. Also helpful, with exception for one of the City snowplows taking out a fire hydrant Friday night, it's been relatively uneventful from a standpoint of keeping the water plants all up and running and keeping water in the pipes.

Nice!  I saw there was another video up of a bluegrass band doing Marbletown.  Is that tune in the bluegrass book?  Come to think of it, does bluegrass even have a book?

 No, not in the book per se.  
 
Yes, there are a couple books, but Blue Highway chose instead to write their own book. Those guys have been together for over 20 years now, having formed in 1994. I saw their very first show together at the Down Home in Johnson City, Tennessee, as the band I was playing with back then was HQ'd in nearby Jonesboro. We all knew each other, as the bluegrass community is so comparatively small.
 
Tim Stafford (guitar player) built that band from the ground up after leaving Alison Krauss & Union Station, a tough gig to walk away from even then, as the Grammys had just started rolling in. They quickly established themselves as a one of the very few bluegrass acts to go mainstream. (meaning they actually make a living playing full-time)  
 
It's a little unusual for them to do a cover song like Marbletown though, as they are best known for doing all original songs from within the band. Tim is quite the student of music though (as well as a professor at East Tennessee State University) so it's not surprising he's well-versed in the music of Mark Knopfler. For whatever reason though, they made Marbletown the title cut of an album, next thing anybody knew, a bunch of other regional bands were covering Blue Highway, covering Mark Knopfler. The whole thing hit me funny.
 
Tim's also quite a natural comedian... one of his favorite go-to gags on stage is an impression of Ralph Stanley. First time I heard this laughed til my guts hurt, it's just so spot-on.  
 

Ah; I didn't realize that was Tim Stafford.

OK, I was just on Youtube and stumbled on something that scared me badly.
 
I won't post a link out of simple human decency, but - is there anything wronger than Judas Priest doing Diamonds and Rust??
 
That is BAD!!

Maybe the worst is that I knew JP's version first, when I was about 9 years old (Listened to their Unleashed in the East - Live in Japan album back in 1981, along with British Steel, on a single sit). But then, there's one in every crowd...

Let me take you back one further Dave... I got to see this evolution happen in real time.
 
Before they were members of the AKUS video you posted, Tim Stafford, Barry Bales, and Adam Steffey were the core members of this band called Dusty Miller.
 
(a very young) Alison met them between band members coming and going, and they just clicked. The only one who remains in Union Station today is Barry Bales on bass. Tim went on to start Blue Highway, and these days Adam Steffey plays with another decorated band called The Boxcars.  
 
It really is a very small musical community... fun to reminisce about those days. We were all coming of age at about the same time in East Tennessee... man, I was having a ball, fresh out of high school, running up and down the highways every weekend playing bass. Fun times! =)
