Reviews
Watching these thoroughly pro-fessional and entertaining shows, viewers can really appreciate Curly Seckler’s superb tenor singing, Scruggs’ amazingly solid & tasteful banjo picking, and Flatt’s smooth, consummate MC work (as well as his wonderful vocals). The group worked beautifully around two mikes—one for the instrumental breaks and the other for the vocals-- whether it be a solo, a duet, a trio or quartet, the band’s blend and choreography were impeccable. There’s plenty going on here. Country Sales
