      never got the recognition but he was a good performer there in the late 70's & early 80's. He had a tenor voice similar to Renfro Proffitt. Some of his best work was in the Ralph Stanley & The Clinch Mountain Boys in the 60's & 70's unless you like Neotraditional country.

    Thank you, Ricky, for all the great music you gave us over the years. You are one of my top 5 favorite performers ever. Elvis, Grandpa Jones, Peter Noone, & Jack Scott, too.

    And this is why Ricky Skaggs is the Master, the Crown Jewel of Bluegrass Music. The Country Music Hall of Fame inducted Ricky in 2018 - they should have inducted him when he was 8 Years Old!!!!!

    In 1991 or '92 I met Ricky and installed his first mobile cell phone in his Tour Bus. He was such a genuine person and was my pleasure to have met him. I was paid, invited to the barbecue, and given tickets for the concert that night with Allison Krause and Union Station. Was an awesome day I will always remember. On the Bus Marquee I remember "Don't get above your Raisin"
