Dailey & Vincent - By the Mark (Live]



By the Mark

Love this song so much. Probably my favorite song right now. I will know my Savior, by the mark of the nails in His hands...






Dailey and Vincent are such amazing singers.

I guess some would consider them very progressive bluegrass, I know when we saw them at Starvy Creek last July they had a drummer and the owners of the festival would not let the drums be played. 


The reason was it was not "traditional" bluegrass...okay, I do understand that and I am not a big fan of drums in bluegrass or gospel songs in general, but they have a drummer so I think if that is what they want in their band, they should be allowed to have that. They are as good and better than most of the other bands. 

I also wanted to point out to the owners that they had several groups that sang traditional COUNTRY songs that they tried to sing in a bluegrass fashion, sometimes. Most of the time the group just did it as a country song. And one group even sang "SPLISH SPLASH, I WAS TAKING A BATH, LONG ABOUT SATURDAY NIGHT....(whole song)" which is in fact an old pop rock, bubble gum rock song from the 50s. 

Now how in the world is that traditional bluegrass if you want to split some hairs??? Let 'em sing and get out of the way.
