Part of the beauty ...That's quite a Hall of Fame! Part of the beauty of this collection is that each of the pics tells a little about the pictured.<BR/><BR/>I'll always remember Ralph Stanley for an incident that occurred several years ago. One of our sons, an avid bluegrasser and mandolinist, had garnered autographed t-shirts from his heroes like Bill Monroe and Dale McCoury and such, so I thought I'd get a shirt autographed by Ralph Stanley. (Excuse me, "Dr." Ralph Stanley.)<BR/><BR/>I saw him getting on his bus, after a late-night stunning set, leaving for his next gig on down the road. He obviously was no spring chicken, and had to have been exhausted, but he got off the bus and gave one more autograph. <BR/><BR/>I sometimes rag him about flaunting the "Doctor" stuff, but I'll always remember that act of kindness. Part of the beauty of bluegrass is that it's more than music.<BR/><BR/>Get some black eyed peas and enjoy another New Year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
