He really was one of the good guys and not the least of his accomplishments was banging out "Hail to the Redskins" at RFK with the Scene after a Redskin's touchdown. Rest in peace and thanks for all the great music and good times, Mike. |

He was a thorough professional with exquisite taste for a musical phrase, and truly decent man into the bargain. |

30 Dec 12 - 07:06 AM (#3459057) Subject: RE: Obit: Mike Auldridge RIP (December 2012) From: Ron Davies What a shock. Not only did he set an amazingly high standard in effortless-sounding and wonderful dobro, but he had a really fine smooth voice also--Check "Bottom of the Glass" and some others. The old Seldom Scene (with Mike Auldridge, John Starling, John Duffy, and Tom Gray) were just magnificent. We in the DC area were really lucky to have them based here. |

30 Dec 12 - 03:55 PM (#3459257) Subject: RE: Obit: Mike Auldridge RIP (December 2012) From: pdq Mike Auldridge made the notes come from his heart, trascending the instrument. He was the greatest Dobro player ever, although Rob Ickes is a close second with his technical brilliance and jazz-based adventures. Jerry Douglas has a large bag of tricks but plays less music than Mike Auldridge or Rob Ickes. |
