A rare serious note from T & T on Vassar Clements
Just learned from the Folk Alley newsletter of the failing health of fiddle great Vassar Clements. I first heard Vassar on the now legendary "Will the Circle Be Unbroken" album (yeah, vinyl) back in the early 70s. The roster of pickers Vassar has played with over the years is astounding. As Vassar nears the end of his long journey, one hopes he and his family take some comfort in the knowledge that the man has left his mark in the world of music.
