Old-Time Man: Interview with Ralph Stanley

Thanks to Ken Burns, I can shamelessly plug some of my previously-published features on the history of country and bluegrass music -- like my Virginia Living Magazine cover feature on the legendary Ralph Stanley, who passed away in 2016.

Eight years earlier, I got to spend the day with Dr. Ralph at his Ralph Stanley Museum in Clintwood and talk with him at length about his incredible career, including his relationship with brother Carter, his discovery of Ricky Skaggs and Keith Whitley, the career resurgence that followed his work in "O Brother, Where Art Thou," and his unlikely one-off collaboration with the great James Brown.

Read "Old-Time Man" by going right here.

And remember: You CAN get tired of chocolate pie!
