| He got way up there in Hughey land didn't he. The video was too dark to tell, but that sure sounded like Reggie on the fiddle? |

I saw Carp playing with Tommy about a month ago. He blew me away! Never repeated himself in four hours. He just kept digging deeper in the well. Great band. My old bandmate-buddy Mark Kalson was on fiddle that night. I think that's Reggie in the video. Mark plays left-handed so it's not him

| Wow! This clip of Carp is amazing! What a player! Tommy is always great. Looks like Jess Meador on fiddle to me? RP |

Paul King said "Gary built the Rains guitars for several years."
Does Gary still build and work for Rains?

| Darrell, I barely know enough to comment, but I think someone else is building the guitars and Gary does the final tweaking on them when they are finished. |

| Curtis Hogue bought the company from Gary earlier this year. Curtis is doing a great job on building the guitars. Gary does stop by occasionally for parts and is there should Curtis need his advice. |
