Clay Hess - Bluegrass Music and Good Humor

Alan Stricklin

Clay's first introduction to many was as the lead guitarist for Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder, winning a Grammy Award during his tenure there.  After departing Skaggs, Hess toured and recorded with several of the top bands in the genre. 

Highlight:  Using his thumb to slow down records so he could learn the guitar part while Mom listened through the wall.
