Doug Dillard recovery continues

Event Details

Some good news on the banjo legend front…

Doug Dillard has been released from the hospital. He was admitted into a rehab facility on Monday, and his wife, Vikki, tells us that Doug is in good spirits and eager to get better so that he can play the banjo again!

Dillard was hospitalized in March for serious breathing problems, and issue he has encountered a number of times in recent years. He is currently 75 years of age.
