As a child in Landrum South Carolina, my father adored you and Lester. I was brought up with an appreciate for bluegrass music and to sing. I always wished that I had taken my talent to the world and at least tried to sing professionally. I guess there's a lot of people like me who didn't have the drive or the backing at home to achieve more as you have so elegantly done. I bow to you sir, as a small town boy who made the most from his talents-being a great musician and true ambassador for America.
