Hi folks, I am hoping there is a Tony Rice and acoustic music fan out there among you, who would enjoy proofreading my newly submitted scanned copy of this biography. The book is my purchased hardcover copy, and according to Amazon it is only available at a premium by other sellers. So I guess that makes this even more cool. Or they have chosen to only sell through Tony’s website or County Sales or some other Bluegrass music seller. I have hopes to get it approved and in my credits column before my renewal date of April 14, but of course I know that may be a roll of the dice. I may as well just dream of playing guitar like TR! <g> Here is the info on it. Thanks. Rik Welcome to the world of guitarist Tony Rice and his music.

But I did my best. You may contact me at my email with any questions at d28rik at msn dot com. A note on headings. First there are chapters and then there is this On the Road segment which is separate from chapters, as I read it. But within the chapters, there are sub headings of subjects within each of these chapters. I would think that having multi-level headings would be nice. I did it in my .kes version. And it was nice to read teh book this way. But i did not put all of the subheadings in alternate font size. I just ran out of time. But here is the summary of the headings I gathered.
