"Although I don't exactly know the name of the band in the barbershop I know it is comprised of the late Clarence White on guitar and his brother Roland on mandolin. They were once in a group called the Kentucky Gentlemen. Clarence White is credited as having brought bluegrass rhythm guitar into the modern age with virtuosic lead picking and switcthed to electric guitar when he joined the country-rock version of the band, the Byrds. Hope this helps-Eric Swolgaard Sacramento, CA" White was an incredible guitar player. I had the opportunity to open for The Byrds in the early 1970's. White was the guitarist then. He died after being struck by a car, as he was getting into his car. Freak accident but a fine musician (and nice guy, back when...) Got time to breathe, got time for music Michael "Briscoe" Burch, Chapter President, NC _______________________________________________ WBMUTBB mailing list [email protected] http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
