In my view there’s none better than Ricky Skaggs in Country and/or Bluegrass music! He’s the absolute best there is and all others pale in comparison as far as i’m concerned. I have been collecting his music for decades and am actively hunting anything he appears on. I’d like to contact other such Ricky fans and share info.
