Dan Crary (a.k.a. "Deacon Dan" Crary) catagorizes himself as a "solo flatpicker." He is, in fact, one of the greats, up there with notables like Doc Watson, Clarence White, Norman Blake and Tony Rice. Born in Kansas City, Kansas, in 1939, Dan has quite an intesting background as seminary student, a philosopher, and currently a speech communications professor at California State University, Fullerton. Dan is one of a handful of guitarists who played a role as establishing the acoustic guitar as a solo instrument in the bluegrass genre.
