In this episode, Brad talks with flatpicking guitar legend, Dan Crary.  Dan is one of the early innovators of flatpicking acoustic guitar and has influenced generations of flatpickers since.  

As a child Dan was impressed by a local Kansas guitar player, Don Sullivan and that twangy, stringy sound stayed with him.  He also cites hearing Hank Snow take leads on acoustic guitar as an influence.

When going to school in Kentucky, he joined the Bluegrass Alliance and Lonnie Pearce insisted that Dan needed to learn to take lead guitar breaks on some of the fiddle tunes they were doing.  So he did, and the rest is history.

Dan also shares a stories about a couple of his favorite guitarists, Doc Watson and Sabicas, and remembers the flatpick guitar legend, Tony Rice.
