In today's episode I'll look through some of the musicians and bands that played on the bluegrass scene in Washington D.C. I will do a more deeply researched show for a future episode but this is just a selection which I've hand-picked to give you a flavour of some of the incredible musicians who littered the city between the 1950s and 1980s.
*It may have been Jimmy Guadreau on mandolin for the \"To the Rescue\" take, by the way. It comes from a compilation album of Rebel recordings and some research tells me that this track was on a 1970 record titled \"New Look, New Sound\" with Gaudreau.
