This dobro man can't say thanks enough to this awesome gentleman, named Tut Taylor, for the inspriation!

Although we divorced many years ago, we've remained friends. Tut is a generous and loving man & a wonderful father and I felt a connection to him from the first moment we met. Travis is carrying on the family tradition of building dobros, mandolins, etc. He was going to be called Josh, but Tut wasn't real fond of that name, so Travis Tut is was! He's so much like the Taylor men that it's scary (in a good way!) I didn't know it at the time, it turns out that I gave him the perfect name.

I've only had one conversation with Tut (a few years ago when I screwed up and owed him an apology) and this article shows me again what I already knew: he's a genuine, gracious, and generous man through and through. This article's got great writing, great questions drawing out insights from the man's sweet memories, and some fine photos taboot. (I had no idea that Ginger Boatwright had been around for pickin' sessions in 1971 -- she still doesn't look a day over 30.) And Tut giving some flat-pick tips on top of everything else says the man was thoroughly engaged in this interview. Yet another piece that shows why Sarah Hagerman's one of my favorite writers.
