I have listened to his records with David Grisman for a long time ("Tone Poems" is one). Many say he is the King of flat-picked flattop guitar, and changed bluegrass forever. He lost his voice in the 90s and in the last decade or more has arthritis and hand problems, but soldiered on playing as much as he could. This is an excellent show. As jazzy as it is bluegrass in some tracks. https://youtu.be/UYqhU_4d5WA
