Back in the late 1970s, I had the great pleasure of mixing the live sound for Doc & Merle Watson when they came to my college. Naturally, I had to go up during soundcheck and pay homage to the greatest flatpicker alive. So, I go up and ask him if he likes the sound quality (he did) and I mention that I hope to be close to as good on guitar as he was. He thanked me, then asked me, "So, you play guitar?" To which I replied, "Not when I'm standing next to the greatest picker on earth!" Then he says, "Son, your hands are on the guitar somewhere and something that resembles "music" comes out?" I said, "Yes sir, kinda." He then says, "Then go pick you out a guitar and let's pick!" Though I felt like a bumbling idiot, I did so, playing an old Martin he had on his rack, feeling totally inadequate for the 5-10 minutes that we picked. Over twenty years later, I took my 14 YO daughter to see him when he opened a show for Nickel Creek & Bela Fleck, went up to say hello, and though he admitted that he didn't remember my name, he remembered "sittin' and pickin' with his sound man years ago." He was a kind man, and that's a memory I'll never forget. RIP, Doc.

The world lost a good friend with the passing of Tony Rice, I met him at Bluegrass Canada some twenty some years ago with Ricky Skaggs, Sam Bush and Jerry Douglas....Tony was the classic country gentleman both on and off stage, and if you asked each and everyone of the guitar players here who their greatest guitar play was...they would say Tony Rice... I have a 1954 Martin D-28 which is my most prized possession and I have spent my life trying to adopt the licks, riffs, and magic of Mr. Rice into my own style....my love and admiration for this man was the main inspiration for making this huge investment in a guitar...once you have played a pre 1960 Martin, there is no turning back...great video

I was strictly a banjo player as a kid until one morning I awoke to hear "The Bluegrass Album Band" record playing that my mom got from a garage sale. I remember opening my eyes in bed thinking wtf is that heavenly sound? Tony Rice's vocals and his guitar made me want to learn the guitar and sing.

My opinion is that O'Connor was exceptionally gifted. Forty years ago, he played guitar and mandolin as well as he played fiddle. But he wanted to be the first undisputed on an instrument. Now, the place was hold by Grisman on the mandolin and by Rice on the guitar, and so he took the fiddle where there was no really serious competitor. That's why he is much better known now as a fiddler than as a guitarist or a mandolinist.

Years ago I played the guitar but I injured my hand severely and was not able to make chords because of it. And that effectively ended my guitar playing days, however, when I played I had an acoustic guitar and had some experience with electric guitars. Playing an acoustic guitar is much harder because of the finger pressure needed compared to an electric guitar. Something about the sound an acoustic guitar is magical to me. All that beautiful sound being produced without any extra electrical help. I never tire of listening to great acoustical guitarists play great tunes.
