According to BGRASS-L and AllMusic.com, yesterday was Kenny Baker's 77th birthday. Happy (belated) Birthday, Kenny!

Kenny Baker has quickly become my number one fiddle influence. He was the longest running fiddler for Bill Monroe, and played two of my favorite Monroe fiddle tunes -- Jerusalem Ridge and Monroe's Hornpipe.
