I'm sorry to hear of his passing. About 9 or 10 years ago Wayne sent me a copy of an album he and Johnny Cox made together. He was a good picker....JH in Va.

Rest in Peace Wayne.

Carl:: I have the same album and got Johnnie to sign it in the MSA Room when they came out with the Millennium while him and Rugg were playing on the new steels. Never got the pleasure to meet Wayne.
