I got a piece of bad news on Saturday. A man called "Daddy Dick" Richards was killed in a car crash. He was 80. I first met him about 20 years ago, and, I could hardly believe what he was doing with a fiddle, guitar and stand up bass. This man had no left hand! His guitar was tuned to an open key, of course, but the fiddle and guitar were standard tuned. Now, when I hear someone say "I cant play mandolin because my fingers are to big." I tell them about Daddy Dick.
