I also read somewhere that Doug, when he was young, went to Earl’s house for a visit.
Before the Dillards took their famous cross country trip to California and International fame, I had the pleasure of hearing them when the old time square dance players took a break.
This was around 1957 - 1958 in downtown Salem, MO, their hometown.
Wish I had payed more attention to Doug Dillard's playing, but I was more interested in trying to get a certain red headed farm girl to dance with me.
I was recently looking thru a bluegrass unlimited magazine with an article on the Dillard's and it said that Doug 's parents drove him to Earls house and he bought a set of d tuners and Earl installed them for Doug.
