Who else is binging on Tony Rice after his passing yesterday? What a legend. Fantastic picker and always dressed and presented him self with class.

Billy Strings might have the chance to make a similar significant contribution over time (not the way he dresses lol!), but nobody will replace Tony Rice. He was the first of lead guitar and vocal in a major bluegrass band. Hero to many, me included.

The more I watch & Listen to "THE" Tony Rice , "The" Mark O'Connor, and the one and only "THE" Jerry Douglas, the more I understand why so many people held and hold them in High Esteem. It is very special to me because it was way back when I learned the Banjo from Bobby Horton and flat-pickin' from Glenn Tolbert. I kept hearing about a teenager winning all these fiddle contests...her name was Allison Krauss. Thanks to KZbin I can enjoy hearing the very best. I bet Chet Atkins would be scratching his head, as he watched and heard Tony Rice playing and thinking, " How do you do all that and with just one pick...show me again...very slowly please". :-)
