Arms was a serious student of bluegrass and pre-bluegrass music and had recently devoted a lot of energy to collecting 78 RPM records of country and old time music from the pre WWII era. Other interests included shape-note singing in the Sacred Harp tradition.

He will be remembered as a fine mandolinist and tenor singer who kept to the traditional bluegrass sound.
