The guitar player in the first video is Michael Daves.

Here he is playing more hardcore Bluegrass with Chris Thile.

Chris, believe it or not, has a strong connection to the PipeWorld. His dad is Scott Thile, a well-known and respected pipe carver who has been at it a long time and is still makin' 'em.

Where? In Kentucky, of course. 👍

Scott Thile was the bassist in Chris' group Nickel Creek for its first ten years. If you are unfamiliar with Nickel Creek, check out their stuff, a terrific "New Grass" ensemble.

Nickel Creek’s first record is, in my opinion, one of the finest acoustic/Americana albums ever made. The musicianship is nothing short of mind-blowing, especially considering how young they all were. I go back to that record a lot.

I'm a huge Chris Thile fan, and had no clue that Scott Thile was his father!
