Missouri Bluegrass Preservation Association

2019 Pioneers of Missouri Bluegrass: Frank Ray, Alma Curtner (for Herman Beck),  Andy Bressler, Alvin Bressler, Ken Seaman, Cecil Tinnon (for Paul Tinnon) On Friday, January 4, six first generation Missouri musicians were awarded plaques proclaiming them as Pioneers of Missouri Bluegrass Music.

To some, when they think of bluegrass music in Missouri, they think of The Dillard's. Doug, Rodney, Dean Webb, and Mitch Jayne made quite an impact with their darling spot as the Darling family on The Andy Griffith Show. From
