Dick has been performing bluegrass music on banjo and guitar since 1966 in his home state of Maine, throughout New England, and internationally with The Case Brothers - Martin & Gibson. He has performed for HVBA with the Old Time Bluegrass Singers, and also sent in a squadron of Dick Bowden's Flying Circus. Most recently Dick has played Dobro (tm) with the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band.

  • Backing to Burmingham = Lester Flatt
    Tennessee Truck-Driving Man = Dr. Ralph
    East Bound and Down = Po Rambling Boys (my new fave band, btw)
    The Dixie Trucker’s Home = The one and only John Hartford
    The Lights On the Hill (Are Blinding Me) = Del McCoury (deduced through a process of elimination. Now I’ll have to find the tune and give it a listen)

    How’d I do?
