Talk:Ricky Skaggs

Ricky's childhood

I just learned from a KET special that at the age of 6, Skaggs appeared on stage with Bill Monroe who hung his own mandelin around Ricky's neck in a show of approval for young Ricky. The next year, at 7 he performed with Flatt and Scruggs and at 8 with Bluegrass legand Ralph Stanley. Might be an interesting addition to the article. I'm checking to make sure This bio link is on the article. CQ 04:07, 22 June 2006 (UTC)

Where's the "meat and potatoes"?

While all of the trivia-knowledge information is a fairly good read, there is minimal information about any of his mainstream success, or for that matter, any information about his 'hits'. While I am not knowledgeable enough on the topic myself to compose a more comprehensive article, somebody else would do well to do so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.232.18.176 (talk) 03:30, 8 August 2010 (UTC)

I agree. In my opinion, this should be a high priority. Ricky Skaggs is an incredibly accomplished and well-known singer and musician, who has made a huge impact in bluegrass and traditional country, and this is a very minimal article that needs a lot of work. 99.149.194.97 (talk) 21:25, 28 October 2010 (UTC)

Although Ricky Skaggs was 7 years old when he first played the Grand Ole Opry, this article says Ricky was inducted into the Grand Ole Opry in 1982. He would've been 28 years old when inducted. According to the Grand Ole Opry site, Hank Williams was inducted into the Opry when he was 26 <https://www.opry.com/artists/hank-williams/>. I'm not entirely sure about when and how the induction into the Opry happens. But either way, the wording about this in the article seems to be misleading. It seems some editing here might be helpful.

Keith Whitley!

How can Keith Whitley not be included in the list of Associated Acts?! That musical relationship and friendship was very important to each of them and if not for Keith's demons they may have become one of country's most celebrated dynamic duos! 2603:8081:7407:668F:2303:540:9191:50D (talk) 05:06, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
