Comment
An ever shifting cast of musicians, and not always clear who is playing. 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.
