Rhonda Vincent, the International Bluegrass Music Association’s reigning entertainer of the year, is at home in Missouri recovering from surgery. Vincent was operated on Dec. 4 for a ruptured disc in her neck. In a note to fans posted on her Web site, Vincent says, "Although I am not completely comfortable, nor am I pain free, I have regained the use of my right arm, and the aches I do have are normal and should leave with plenty of rest." 12/10/01
