Dick-
This may not be what you're looking for but give it a listen: the late Obray Ramsey singing "Cold Rain and Snow": click here for mp3!
Obray did a unique style of three-finger picking with occasional brush strokes at the end of lines. He was based in Madison County, North Carolina, about an hour west of Ashville.
He was also a good shot when it came to picking off ground hog sunning themselves on the mountain side.
