Avid Mystery Reader said A Great Historical Find. I bought this book for a die-hard Bluegrass music fan and it did not disappoint. The book is loaded with history, not only of the main subject person (Wade Mainer) but also of many other bluegrass personalities of yesteryear. It is a treasure-trove of information with many amusing stories and pictures. This book definitly should be on the list for anyone interested in Bluegrass music and history of that music genre. It is well worth the price; in fact, the price is very reasonable for the enjoyment from this work.. Great read of a man ahead of his time Roger Parris Great read of a man ahead of his time. Loved the stories of his nephews joining his band as the "Smiling Little Rangers!". Bill Flanigan said Five Stars. Good story.
