RIP Tony Rice

Sad to hear the news.  I was blessed to have seen him live a few times from just a few rows back at music festivals here in the South.  At one fest I got to see him roll right by me onto the grounds in his 5 liter Mustang and he gave me a reassuring nod as I waved to him and smiled.  I think he liked fast cars and probably drove in from NC to North FL for that one.

RIP Tony... thanks for all the great music

R.I.P. Tony

@pehare, was that at The Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park? I saw him there a few times. Great musician and he put on amazing (and seemingly effortless) performances.

@ranjan....sure was.  What a magical place to gather memories of a lifetime!

I saw him several times at a festival I used to go to in Florida back in the late 90's and early 00's.He played with Grissman often there, but also many other bluegrass stars, as well as solo. Most of the time when he was not doing his set he'd be sittin' in with somebody else. Also saw him numerous time s at Merlefest. I have most of his performances there on DAT.
RIP, I'll miss you Tony.
