Tony Rice passes

[Tom in RI]

A masterful improviser laid low by health issues since the 1990’s. 

 

[Ken Dryden]

I saw Tony Rice play two duo concerts with fellow guitarist/vocalist Norman Blake. By that time, Rice could no longer sing and his speaking voice was very gravely from his ailment. But he was still recording and performing into the 21st century, with his last performance was in 2013 at the Bluegrass Hall of fame.
