Happy Birthday, Wade Mainer! Mainer, a banjo player and singer, is often called the “grandfather of Bluegrass” due to his innovative two-finger banjo fingerpicking style, which formed the foundation for the modern three-finger bluegrass banjo style. Mr. Mainer turned 104 years of age on April 21, 2011. Best wishes from Sing Out!
