The most incredible flat picker.
I met Tony in the 70's at a bluegrass festival and I think got to hold and play a few licks on his Martin. I don't know if it was this guitar or not. At that time i didn't have a clue. I was just in awe. Not often you can find documentation of a such an iconic guitar's history of ownership and repairs

Chris,
It will stop - but you really won't like what it means when it does.....

Oh, I agree. But it won't be 2020 ever again.

Known for his flatpicking, but his rythm playing was incredible. RIP Tony.

I call him a flat picker but in reality Tony was so much more. He wove everything together seamlessly.
