Strings has been moving away from bluegrass of late, into more profitable real estate.
I read an interview where he says he doesn't care about the money or fame, only the craft. He still lives modestly and used his Opry money to buy his mom a house.

There is no reason he shouldn't refocus his incredible talent into a genre that would enrichen many more lives. Including himself.

Great cover. Thanx for posting!

Edited to spell "only" instead of on.
