And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Get in, buckle up and hold on: Mark O'Connor, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck - "Freeborn Man"
That flat picking is difficult. Or, cross picking. Man, that is amazing...
I played with a family once in deep eastern Oklahoma. One would say, "lets do that one about a possum..." and they'd start this slow picking then all of a sudden, it was blazing fast... every song! I had more fun that day, than most any day since. You really get tested when you play with good musicians...
YEEEEEEHAAAAA! Yes sir! That's pickin' and grinnin" all the way.
