John Duffey, the most Over rated mandolin player of all time...sorry he sucked, and so did the Scene. That Skaggs was Right On with the fiddle and Vocals though
@713pbradley You must have completly lost your mind.....Duffey is probably the most underrated mando. player of all times and probably the best tenor singer in bluegrass history. The Scene changed the bluegrass scene forever,brought on the newgrass scene and everyone followed in there footsteps.
@aspencer73 Right on Mr. Spencer! Duffy WAS indeed an incredible mandolin player -- his playing was full of jazz and blues licks I loved it. I have no idea who the self-appointed genius, and bluegrass critic, 713pbradley, is but I when I went to his channel I find it is not exactly showing any uploads of his playing! LOL
I doubt Pendleton Vandiver would put all that "look at me!" into his fiddling. Ricky here is already getting above his raising. Duffy is the entertainer here... great singing and a creative mando break.
@cyrus621 So you were around to watch Uncle Pen fiddle then? If not how the hell do you know WHAT he did? And so what anyway? Ricky or any other musician can play bluegrass the way he wants. Skaggs has has his share of problems by playing mandolin and fiddle were not two of them.
@Mandolin1944 I said "I doubt". No, I was not born before Pendleton Vandiver died. Ricky can indeed play the way he wants, and I can comment on it. Still a free country.
ricky is such an ass. duffey hated him. shame on him for making fun of curly ray cline. he was trying to impress duffey at curly ray and ralphs expense.
@bigmrclean dumbass i am not a dude. duffey hated the stanleys..and their band members. he thought they were hicks, and ruined bluegrass musics chances to be mainstream..ricky had a vendetta since he married ralphs niece and the were feuding at the time..
@meanlezbo..You know what meanlezbo It's hard to get into a legit pissing contest with a dyke. I am sure you're very educated on bluegrass music...My mistake for even thinking otherwise you high classed citizen.
Historical. Real music.
