Dr. Ralph Stanley is a fine "work of art" from the mountains. We should all be proud of his many accomplishments and the recognition that he brings to Dickenson County.
I believe ralph stanley songs come the heart and has that old time sound. His gospel songs make me feel like i've been to church. They really touch your heart.
This might just be the ONLY good thing George W. Bush has done during his time as President.
