Mickey Gaylean - Mickey Gaylean plays guitar with "Rich in Tradition". Mickey's father Cullen Gaylean played banjo with the hard-to-beat "Mountain Ramblers" many years ago. Mickey has a son who plays guitar and a daughter who has picked up the fiddle. He says he is unsure if it will last. Mickey has worked for North Carolina Department of Transportation for fifteen years. In addition to guitar, Mickey plays mandolin and bass and is beginning to learn banjo. He does vocals too. He says he admires the music of his late father very much. We hope to see him back at the Smyth County Jam whenever he gets the chance.
