If you haven't seen it, there's a post on the forum this afternoon about local musician and luthier Snuffy Smith, who passed away on Friday. It links to a Bluegrass Today post with more information. I never had the pleasure of meeting him. I gather that he was better known as a banjo player, but whenever someone asked here about who to get to do a setup on their mandolin in central NC, his name always came up very quickly. According to Bluegrass Today, the funeral is scheduled for 6:00 pm Monday at Slate's Funeral Home in King, NC.
