A random search unrelated to Mudcat popped this thread. I missed it when it was new.

Some thoughts...

Jayto is a very fine player. I got to meet him a couple of years ago in Mountain View, AR, during the Merle Travis weekend. He was bummed that they'd canceled the contest for lack of enough entries.

Losing anything of Mose Rager's is truly sad. I love to watch that old film from 1963 or so where Mose is playing I Am A Pilgrim for folklorist D. K. Wilgus.

Finally I keep thinking how much Rick would had loved the interchange with Jayto. Rick loved the style and having a real life connection to Mose would have kept him excited for a long time.
