A master musician, singer, and songwriter,
 Alonzo, shown here with his lovely bride
 Mary Ann and their newborn, Richard,
 loved his guitars, which he handcrafted and
 were considered among the finest string
 instruments around Indiana. He could
 play just about anything - and some say it
 continues to run in the genes - others add
 that he knew his bible equally well!
Here Alonzo poses with one
 of his life-long music
 industry idols, country singing sensation, Bill Monroe.
 Alonzo's son-in-law, David
 Dare Sr. drove his  father-
in-law to this Indiana location
 just so Alonzo could meet the
 man he so admired!
