I just got a phone call from a friend telling me that Reed Martin has died. I don't know any more details at this time. A great person and a great player. He will be missed. Harry

Damn...
I just lent a student his CD last week. He was one of the first players I really got into. He'll be missed. He'd be 78, if I'm not mistaken.

Many years back Reed helped put clawhammer on the banjer map.
What a player -- fast (very) and clean -- a virtuoso!
The heavenly band just got better.

Another huge loss.
Amazing musician, highly skilled antique automotive restorer, an inspiration to many.
Thanks for posting, Harry.

A wonderful musician among other talents. Last saw him now some years ago at his home in Cabin John where I played with him and got a few tips. And he could remember any tune note-for-note after hearing it once. Virtuoso is right.
