A Little Sad Bluegrass Div (Tony Rice subsection)

IBMA Hall of Fame guitarist Tony Rice Passed away on Christmas Day.  No cause of death has been announced, but he had been diagnosed with muscle tension dysphonia in 1994 which led to the end of his singing live. Further muscular issues forced him to stop playing - his last performance was in 2013.

This is one of my all-time favorites, Norman Blake's Church Street Blues.

RIP Tony ...... I'll bet Clarance White was there to greet you.
