Special thanks to the eminent Felton Pruit of KFAT radio. Without Mr Pruit's passion for and insights and deep understanding of bluegrass music this conversation would more than likely NEVER have been preserved for us and coming generations to enjoy and learn from.

Love the story of JD's great find in Monroe Michigan at 25:00 minutes. Covered in dust, no head, parts sitting loose in the resonator and a tenor neck. Priceless.
