Hot for Teacher?

I had recently joked with a friend about the possibility of finding a Bluegrass cover of Van Halen's "Hot for Teacher" and a quick Google search put me face-to-face with a surprising reality...Dave had actually teamed up with a Bluegrass band and allowed for Bluegrass covers of Van Halen's music. I haven't heard the whole album, as a matter of fact, I jumped right to David Grisman & Sons version of "Hot for Teacher." The song was featured during yesterday's Sunday Bluegrass Breakdown.

I had a great time spinning the show and got a good deal of positive feedback from several callers in. Thanks to all of you for listening!
