An ever shifting cast of musicians, and not always clear who is playing.  At least, not to me.  Listening to the recording, for example, Cheyenne may include Bill Keith and Darol Anger, or it may just be that David Grisman mentioned them by name when describing who played on his first album on Rounder Records and specifically on Opus 57, and someone mis-heard when tracking this out originally.  Some of the performers are mentioned by name as follows.

* Doc Watson, Tony Rice, Jerry Douglas, Bonnie Hearne, Alan O'Bryant, Bill Keith, Ralph Stanley, Laurie Lewis, Darol Anger, Gene Libbea, Mark Schatz, Todd Phillips

** Doc Watson, Sam Bush, David Grisman, Darol Anger,  Bill Keith, Laurie Lewis, Stewart Duncan, Tim O'Brien, Bill Mathis, Gene Libbea, Peter Rowan, Mark Schatz, Todd Phillips, Bill and Bonnie Hearne 

Enjoy!
