Douglas Flint Dillard (March 6, 1937 – May 16, 2012) was an American musician noted for his banjo proficiency and his pioneering participation in late-60s country rock. Dillard, who grew up on a farm near Salem, Missouri, began learning guitar and fiddle at age five, and banjo at age 15. He began playing in the family band, with his father Homer, Sr. on fiddle, his mother Lorene on guitar, and his older brother Earl on keyboards. His banjo heroes were Earl Scruggs, Ralph Stanley, and Don Reno.
