During one of Tony's festival workshops, Tony made it a point to distance himself from what Dan is doing on the guitar. I went to one of Crary's shoes, most of it consisted of him tuning a 12 string.
I met Dan Crary at a Blue Grass Festival and he was not a pleasant person. Maybe he wasn't feeling well or had things on his mind, but he was rude for no reason. I got rid of all my Dan Crary albums after that.
In the 1970s and 80s, Watson, Crary, Blake, and Rice were the Four Horsemen. 'Nuff said.
I agree 100%. IMHO they still are. It's a shame a lot of folks today are forgetting these flatpicking masters.
Thanks
Nice listening to Dan (DC) talk about TR and Doc, three of my favorite flatpickers. Thank you.
Btw, still working on Dan’s Lady’s Fancy.
Thanks so much for listening! I agree, Dan, TR, and Doc are also 3 of my favorites. Hard to beat those flatpicking innovators!
He talked more about Doc Watson, and Earl Scruggs than he did about Tony🤨

That doesn't surprise me. I've met a lot of players like him back in the day and you're right some were jerks. I also met Tony and he was nice.
