I met Dick in Cambridge MA in 1970 at a bluegrass collective-commune called Old Joe Clarks. We were introduced by a dobro player, Rusty Strange, and since we both had an interest in bluegrass, we hit it off right away. Being a fledgling folkie at the time and often playing at places like Passims and college coffeehouses, Dick frequently accompanied me on those gigs. We didn't live too far from each other in Cambridge and got together to make music many many times. When we moved to NH in late 1974, he was the first person to come and visit us. I'm very glad I had a chance to speak with him recently. He was definitely one of the best musicians and nicest guys I've ever played with and I was glad to have told him that before he passed. We will miss him.
