got to see rick allred last nite pick the 5 with my wifes band for 2 sets. great scruggs picker. also a great mandolin player too. rick has been playing a long time, he did time with the country gentlemen , summer wages, the mcpeak brothers and several others. he is as comfortable on the banjo as he is the mandolin. he did a great job on material he wasn't familiar with too. nice guy and great player,, it was god to see him again.
