Like many, aging has not been easy for Tony. He is starting to get his beautiful baritone voice back somewhat, after losing it for twenty years. He has an arthritic condition in his elbow that makes it difficult and even painful to play guitar at all.
Rice has won every music award in his genre, and toured for over 40 years. His recordings have sold well and influenced new generations of guitarists.
Bluegrass legends scheduled to appear at this year’ s festival include Raymond Fairchild, Jessee McReynolds, Bobby Osborne, Doyle Lawson, Ronnie Reno, and Larry Sparks.
The festival is packed with performances from over 30 bands with a variety of bluegrass sounds. The list includes: Karl Shiflett & Big Country Show, Michael Cleveland and Flamekeeper, Lonesome River Band, Flatt Lonesome, Ralph Stanley II & Clinch Mountain Boys, Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, and The Grascals
The fun doesn’ t stop when the last band of the day has left the stage. If you play a guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle, or bass it’ s not hard to find someone to jam with. And if you don’ t play an instrument, people are just glad to have enthusiastic listeners.

ART GALLERY SHOWCASE continued from 45
During the 1800s Brown County stone carver Henry Cross created ombstones in cemeteries across southern Indiana. He also created three road markers. The marker at Stonehead directed travelers to Columbus and Story from 1864 until last year when vandals destroyed it.
Sarah and John Lechleiter own the land where Cross lived and quarried. They offered to help replace the marker and build awareness of the of our Brown County treasures. Their son Dan Lechleiter, Professor Jon Kay, and stone carver Casey Winningham retrieved a five foot piece of yellow sandstone for a new marker.
The new marker will not be a replication of the original Stonehead figure. Instead, it will commemorate the work of Henry Cross. Winningham will use hand tools from the 1800s to create the piece. The new design will be on display as part of the exhibit. •
