was your uncle who died at Guadacanal a Marine? I knew a man who was badly wounded there and lived to be late 80s.A jap grenade went off in front of him while the fight for Henderson field was raging. He was in the Raiders. eventually was a pharmacist in my town. Solid, good man.
I donât think youâll find Ricky performing on The View, but that would be something to see.
Great flat picking from Ricky
Your title says The View.
Have lot of faves.
Someone stole my Ricky Skaggs so that tell ya something right there..
Tony Rice is the one that floors me on this stuff.
I have been listening to this stuff since before the birth of rock and roll.

It IS Rock and Roll
I like Ricky and I like bluegrass. But I couldn’t hear any sign of a banjo during that performance. So why was it billed as bluegrass?
I watched it last night. It. Was. Fan. TASTIC!!!! Emily Ann was not one of my favorites this season (by a long shot), but I thought that performance was perhaps the best of the entire season, by any contestant, and that was 99% due to your cousin’s incredible picking and energy! It was definitely the surprise of the night! I remember thinking that most of the kids in the audience and watching at home were probably dumbfounded at how awesome “country” music could sound. And The Voice’s coaches seemed so appreciative of the skill that both Emily Ann and Mr. Skaggs displayed, especially Pharrell...I think he was really blown away and totally into the performance. Emily Ann and Ricky absolutely left it all on the table, which is what those constants are always coached to do. It was spectacular.
Thanks for letting us know about your cool connection, tang-soo!
Haven’t seen him for several years. Sure looks different.
I have to out myself here, too: his father and my father were both fathers.
Not like this crap they pass off as "country" today.
