1898 Orville Gibson Hand-Built Mandolin Played by Ricky Skaggs (Pt. 2) 

I'm so glad we have this archaic footage of Benjamin Franklin play his mandolin

I grew up listening to Mr.Skaggs ...love everything he everplay and still enjoye ...he's my go to Artist

Man he will always be my favorite mandolin player ever! Anybody that can play Mando on One Way Rider as killer as he did

That sounds incredible

Beautiful instrument! Thanks, Ricky! Pick away! 12/4/2022

I wanna meet Ricky I use to listen to him on grand Ole opray as a kid and I loved him

Wow, that tune he's playing is a song my father, an Oklahoman, sang all his life: "I've laid around & played around this ole town too long". I never heard anyone else play or sing it. ❤

Going to see him tonight in northern Michigan!

Great sounding good looking instrument 😅

Ricky!!!

The star and crescent moon fooled me at first! Thought it was a Luna brand mandolin.😁 Nice playing Ricky! I would have loved to hear more until someone said "thank you Ricky".☹️

Gotta travel on!

Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan!

Its time to mention where gibson mandolins were made. Every article or video about gibson or loar fails to include Kalamazoo as it's original home town. All that magic happened here!

What’s the price tag on that

He’s so hot

You dont stop Ricky Skaggs from playing bud Im sorry but no. Even if hes playin around and you got places to be...you aint got nowhere that important to be to stop him wuth that last " thanks Ricky" cmon

The greatest picker on earth.
