CMS Author MikeRivers Posted December 31, 2012 CMS Author Share Posted December 31, 2012 Listen to this musical montage from today's Morning Edition. How many do you recognize? And how many have you listened to in the past? Me, I lost count. And too late for this piece, we just lost Mike Auldridge, most famously from The Seldom Scene, who brought a new style of playing the Dobro (OK, so in later years he played a "resophonic guitar") to bluegrass music and spawned a generation of modern players.

In my line of work, I average about 4 funerals a week so it doesn`t throw me at all. People die everyday, all ages, all walks of life from all different types of incidents: accidents, natural death, suicides, overdoses, illness, and on and on it goes... Gives me a different perspective than most I think... there is no guarantee for tomorrow and everyday is a gift. All those cliches are true.

RIP, Mr Auldridge. I heard that NPR montage. I turned on the radio just before so I didn't know what it was... it took about 3 seconds to figure out. Many great artists passed this year... like so many before. We all fall like the petals from a lotus, ever unfolding.Unless we really mess it up and kill the whole damn plant...

Members DigitMus Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Yeah, in 2012 we lost too many. Some were icons, some I bumped up against over the years and 3 were personal friends & collaborators: Lee Dorman, Larry "Rhino" Reinhardt and Benjy King. I feel a bit diminished...
