Mr. CompletelyHere's a memory that came to me while listening to the new Tony Rice pod. There a line like "anyone who saw him knew he was someone even if they didn't know who he was" due to his bearing. I saw him a handful of times live but at the 1992 MerleFest Midnight Jam (linked next post) I was backstage (long story). I ended up standing right next to him for a minute in the stage right wing as he was waiting to go on. Of course I would never bug an artist in that moment so I let him be (1/2)
slippingnic@mrcompletely what’s the podcast you are referring to? Googled it and found one that was done right after his death. Toy heart?
@slippingnic the Toy Heart memorial episodes are an absolute must if you're a Tony fan. They are superb. I was referring to this ep of Bluegrass Jam Along, which has a second ep coming. This one is also very good and I certainly recommend it. But I'd listen to the Toy Heart ones first. Hearing guys like Bela, Sam, Jerry D, Dawg...astonishing
Tony Rice - Church Street Blues at 40 part 1 (inc. Tim Stafford, Wyatt Rice, & Alison Krauss)
@mrcompletely awesome, will do!
