Ricky Skaggs: Young Country Singer With Old-Time Roots
Richard Harrington, The Washington Post, 5 July 1981
LAST MONDAY afternoon, Ricky Skaggs had to leave a Nashville recording studio in the middle of a song to take delivery of furniture bought during a State Department tour of Pakistan with Buck White and the Down Home Folks. In early August, the 26-year-old will marry Buck's daughter, singer Sharon White. The wedding will be "in the middle of the week when most of the pickers will be home," says the soft-spoken Skaggs. "We're going to tell 'em to bring a covered dish and a guitar."
