In 1991 Del, Ronnie & Allison, Robbie and Del's daughter Rhonda all went to a Grateful Dead show where they all had the opportunity to meet Jerry Garcia. Ronnie had two banjos for sale and word got to Jerry about them. Jerry was very interested and called Ronnie up at his home and invited him to bring the banjos to the show. He brought them both and sold them both to Jerry Garcia. What an experience to remember!
