The Tonic Ball Benefit

My dear friends Kenny Vaughan, Chris Scruggs, Harry Stinson, and brother Marty Stuart.

One of my greatest honors. This was as I was debuting my "and back again" CD.

1992 Backing up Guitar Legend Albert Lee

Stephen Stills has always been a great influence.

The passing of our great friend and drummer Gary Brewer has been a huge loss to the music community. There's no way to express our grief.

Backstage at my buddy Marty Stuart's show playing "Clarence" one of music's most famous guitars. The guitar, a 1954 Fender Telecaster was the first guitar built with a "B Bender" unit to replicate a pedal steel sound. It was originally owned by Byrds guitar legend Clarence White and is considered the guitar that created the sound of Country Rock. After his untimely death being killed by a drunk driver while loading equipment in his car the guitar then went to family friend Marty Stuart who has become it's caretaker. An honor to play it.
