Highlights from the First 500 Episodes - Alison Krauss, Wyatt Rice, Bryan Sutton, Gabe Witcher, Brittany Haas, Chris Eldridge, Sarah Jarosz, Sara Watkins and Mike Marshall

If you were listening last week, you'll know that my interview with Trey Hensley about Flatt and Scruggs at Carnegie Hall was the 500th episode of Bluegrass Jam Along. To celebrate I thought I'd put together an episode with a few of my highlights and favourite moments from those first 500. You'll hear from: Alison Krauss, on two different car journeys with Tony Rice Wyatt Rice, on recording Church Street Blues Bryan Sutton, on the journey all musicians go on Gabe Witcher, on leaving Punch Brothers Brittny Haas, on joining Punch Brothers Chris Eldridge, on Bela Fleck's Drive album Bryan Sutton (again), on Doc Watson and his influence Sarah Jarosz, on her album Blue Heron Suite Sara Watkins, on I'm With Her's Wild and Clear and Blue and Mike Marshall, on playing with Tony Rice and what he learned from other musicians This journey has been a lot of fun and I can't wait to get stuck into the interviews I already have lined up for the next set of episodes. Thanks to all my guests and to all of you who've listened over the past four and a half years.
