Special guest Lee Olsen:
Bluegrass mandolin player Lee Olsen began his musical career in 1974 by forming the bluegrass band Whetstone Run while attending Penn State. His influences include Buck White, Ricky Skaggs, David Grisman and Jethro Burns.
His mandolin playing is stylistic and unique. You'll hear bits and pieces of some of the great masters of the instrument within a sound that is full of originality.

Lee Olsen has had a major influence on today's Bluegrass. Former Whetstone Run members in addition to Mike Gorrell of Northwest Territory, include Lynn Morris, Marshall Wilborn, and Chris Jones to name a few.
