      never got the recognition but he was a good performer there in the late 70's & early 80's. He had a tenor voice similar to Renfro Proffitt. Some of his best work was in the Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys in the 60's & 70's unless you like Neotraditional country.

Bill Monroe is smiling in Heaven, I have no doubt...How wonderful to watch this!!

    In 1991 or '92 I met Ricky and installed his first mobile cell phone in his Tour Bus. He was such a genuine person and was my pleasure to have met him. I was paid, invited to the barbecue, and given tickets for the concert that night with Allison Krause and Union Station. Was an awesome day I will always remember. On the Bus Marquee I remember "Don't get above your Raisin"
