the passing of Dr. Ralph Stanley
you all must know his performance of O Death, which the Coens put into O Brother Where Art Thou?
Ralph Stanley was one of the greatest voices, if not The voice of Bluegrass. So many great songs for so many years.
So many of our great masters are passing, but at least with Ralph Stanley he made it a good long life. Thank you, sir, for being the height to which I aspire in traditional music. His voice is singing in the deepest soundtrack of my heart. Bless Ralph Stanley for making mountain music and getting it the respect it so richly deserves.
