He will be missed by many.

If you like that style music, google 'sleepy man banjo boys'...kid on there is amazing.
Raymond Fairchild isn't bad either.

Post by: uptown on March 29, 2012, 11:56:05 AM: Sadly, these old boys are dying off and I'm afraid that this type of original American country music will be lost forever one day. They just don't make any more Bill Monroe's, Earl Scruggs or Stanley Brothers these days.
