@@chiprice4811 What is "wretch?" /// Btw, the luthier - Bob Willcutt - who shaved down the neck in that guitar is still going strong, 50+ years later, Rosemont Gardens, Lexington, KY! Bob also put the first pickup in Bela Fleck's banjo!
@@jameshempfling - Yep! My bad... I jumped to conclusion, went on a hunch without listening. Definitely Grizzle Man. ;-) I shoulda remembered that Dawg also plays "Eighth of January," which is also Grisman's picking, AND his arrangement!
I've always been wondering about this cover-shot. Why hasn't he got the strap on? Why is is just like, carrying it. It is virtually unplayable in that position, without the strap around the shoulders. It seems so... hmm... random... Maybe I think too much... Anyway - best version of this song ever! Tony Rice all the way!
Huh? Chair? Don't see it! I see a strap, a shadow of a tree. I think he would be more slumped over if he was sitting. The part of his pants that we can see, would beless visible if he was sitting. I might agree that he could be leaning against the tree, but that makes it even more weird... I have tried playing a guitar while standing leaning my back to the wall - it's so awkward. It seems to me this picture happende like this: Photographer: "Tony, stand i front of the tree - I'll take a picture for the cover of you new album" Tony: "Ok" Photographer: "Good! Now, hold up the guitar in front of you" Tony: "What? Like I'm playing it?" Photographer (getting annoyed because this is the picture number 30 of the day): "Just hold it up, will ya'!" Tony: -holds up guitar- SNAP! Photographer: "Good, see you in a week with the prints - bye"! Or maybe it's a photo taken by his girlfirend at the time. I know that the covershot of 1984's "Cold on the Shoulder" album was taken by his girlfriend at the time. Anyway, my point is, I'm overthinking this :-D #Gear Nerd is right! It's just the guitar that WANTS to be near him! :-D
I might be completely off base, but I think the photographer was looking at the shape of the tree behind him. The strap at that angle looks like the trunk of the tree to the right. The rest of the tree radiates from his head!
Tony was one of a kind great at his craft .we will miss you tony R.I.P.❤❤
The best rendition of this song ever.
RIP to THE BEST EVER!!!

Take care Tony 💚

@Krew Landry You're right, I don't give a damn.
Love this guy, for many years now
its never "unplayable" in Tony Rice's hands...
Perfect song of my life.
THANKs i liked alot. Went to 1 bluegrass festival in the 70s. So much fun.THANKs for listing.
Farewell Tony
love tony rice
Love this
Love the binding on the album cover. I wonder?
revolver... that's because a guitar WANTS to be near Tony so bad it will just hover near him so he can play it ;)
You sir, are correct!

It is a good song, my favorite song. Tony rice is the best of them. But now it's a stalker's song.
Uhhhhh no! The opposition of that dummy
Doesn’t get much better! This was before he purchased Clarence Whites Martin!
That's Clarences guitar. It is just before the pick guard switch. But, that is it. Enlarged sound hole, solid black wretch fingerboard.

@@belascialoja4812 it's a gretsch pickguard. Probably a victim of autocorrect
Ricky on mando?
Yep! Ricky "downstrokes" Skaggs!
Grisman
@@belascialoja4812 Definitely "Dawg" mandolin!

Look closer. he's in a chair.

You are right. But he can hold it anyway he wants. Tony is the shit

Some men prefer it without a strap on.
