Host Tom Power speaks with Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, and David Grisman about their old friend and bandmate Tony Rice, in the first edition of our special tribute, Toy Heart: Remembering Tony Rice.
Critically acclaimed bluegrass podcast Toy Heart returns with a special, limited series, Toy Heart: Remembering Tony Rice. In the first installment of three, host Tom Power (CBC's Q) interviews Béla Fleck, Sam Bush, and David Grisman, each lifelong friends and collaborators with Rice, who passed away unexpectedly on Christmas day. This extra-length episode includes reminiscing, storytelling, and remembrances of the flatpicking legend and Bluegrass Hall of Famer who not only blazed an innovative, often jaw-dropping trail in bluegrass - and all of American roots music - with his technical prowess, but also left a limitless musical legacy with his warm-honey voice, his tender songwriting, and his uncanny ability to inhabit each and every note he emitted, each and every stroke of his pick.
We hope you enjoy the first in this trio of episodes, Power's and Toy Heart's humble attempt to pay homage to a towering figure in bluegrass."

Thank you sooo much for doing this. Being one of all-time top 4 or 5 vocalists in Bluegass, in 1994 when he had to quit singing, I wondered how he could go on. But he did go on for about 18 or 19 more years being one of the greatest guitar players to ever pick the instrument. When he could no longer play on the level that he created, it was even more devastating to Tony and all of us who loved him. In addition to being a genius and one of the greatest musicians, Tony was great human being and the essence of taste, integrity, and class. I miss him.
