Pickin' at the Dilly We went to see Wayne Moss on May 29, 2011 at the Madison Piccadilly Cafeteria in Nashville. It was nice to see Wayne after so many years. I used to go see 

Barefoot Jerry back in the 1970's. I still listen to those great Barefoot Jerry CD's to this day. Every Sunday Wayne had a special guest. This Sunday, it was his daughter Amanda Moss. They did a variety of songs including some of the Barefoot Jerry classics. 

We really enjoyed the music and the food. Pat Adams
