Awesome, Grisam is high on my bucket list as well. We saw Del at the Grand Ole Opry a few weeks ago and he did not disappoint.
Do we have a musician bucket list thread? If not we should.

They were really good. They only played for maybe 75 minutes, so the length was the only disappointing thing. Otherwise it was incredible. Played a lot of standards so most of it was familiar. We arrived early enough to eat dinner at the club before the show and our table/tickets happened to be near stairs to the balcony. Suddenly we noticed the two of them walking across the balcony and the next thing we knew they were walking down the stairs right behind my chair. Grisman gave my wife a good smile and was just 10 feet away. They walked past our table again on the way to sign autographs at the merch table after the show so we were able to express our appreciation for the show and have them acknowledge it.
While home, I went to Euclid Records (once I figured out where they moved to) and found a couple of vintage jazz albums - both from 1958 - that are phenomenal.
