Bluegrass and Dr. Stanley

[Panamabob]

As another Bluegrass Festival winds down here in Kendallville, Indiana, I tip my MONTECRISTI to Dr. Ralph Stanley.

What.....are you talking about?

Am I the only one that is clueless here? [huh]

With the Dapper Dan stuff on here and the "O Brother, Where Art Thou" talks in the past I'd thought some would know.

from www.ralphstanley.net

Born February 25, 1927, in Stratton, Virginia, Ralph and his older brother, Carter, formed the seminal bluegrass ensemble the Stanley Brothers, who made a series of watershed recordings for Columbia Records from 1949 until 1952. Now 75 years old, Stanley has been performing professionally since he and Carter, formed their first group in their native southwestern Virginia in 1946. Between that date and 1966, when Carter died, the Stanley Brothers and the Clinch Mountain Boys became the most celebrated bluegrass groups in the world, ultimately rivaling in popularity such titans as Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Jim & Jesse and the Osborne Brothers.

O.K......

........that helps.....but mostly I was referring to what is now missing. Something you wrote in large purple letters about "calling people names" and saying things behind people's backs or something along those lines. You must have edited your post.

What was that all about?

It wasn't in the post, it was the signature. There is a member here who rarely contributes, save to bully me around a bit. I wanted him to be clear about what a bully was, so I put it in my signature. My 24 hour message, if you will. Am I breaking another rule or something?

I think we will all be better off without petty cat-fighting and digs in signatures.

I don't believe my signature is petty. If you do, do as you wish.
