Sealed/ BIG BEAT/ Who would know that the 1962 Crown Records album BLUE GRASS FAVORITES by the Scottsville Squirrel Barkers would go on to influence a generations of young Californian musicians with a bent for Country music - or that the aforementioned underage mandolin player would go on to be a founder, or integral member, of four of the most important country and country rock groups of all time. Certainly not Modern Records, who financed the album and re-released it on a succession of bargain-price labels, in various guises, throughout the 60s. And probably not underaged mandolin picker Chris Hillman - then at the very dawn of his career as a professional musician, and still some way from joining Don Parmley and the Gosdin brothers in the Golden State Boys, before going on to become a key member of the Byrds, FFBB and DRB over the next 30 years. SSB fiddler Kenny Wertz would also do a future tour of duty as a Burrito, as well as becoming a founder member of both the Stone Poneys & Country Gazette
