HAPPY BIRTHDAY DR. RALPH STANLEY

Congradulations on your 80th birthday. I am glad that you continued the music with The Clinch Mountain Boys after Carter Stanley’s passing. I know we both lost a dear friend by losing Carter. I think the Stanley Brothers Sound and Ralph Stanley’s Sound are one of the very best examples of the very foundation of this style of music. Keep the music going and never forget the humble beginnings of the legendary sound of country Music. Your friend for over fifty years, Scooter.
