I grew up in the hills of East Tennessee and man this makes me homesick. I was born the year this show happened. I love this music and always have. We must never forget the generation that started it all. I also think it really doesn’t need to change because they had it right.

All my people are from the next county over from where Keith and Ricky were raised. From the time I first heard Keith, there was a reassuring familiarity in his music that I could never put my finger on, most especially when he sang bluegrass. Finally I realized that there are slight things he does in his vocal, especially how he forms certain words that traces right back to the same area that as a young kid I learned to sing and pick. The little vocal runs into a phrase or word is nearly angelic to me. My family and the people that were the most important to me were always teaching me how to pick and included me in the music, which never stopped. One of the best gifts they ever gave me was music. I am getting upper-middle-aged now and the world is a lonely place sometimes without great talents like Keith, the elders of my family that brought me along and shared a blessing with me, and others, but I know we will all be together again someday and hopefully in the meantime I can come listen to MY personal favorite lead bluegrass vocal of all time. He may not be for everyone, but it sure takes me home and fills my heart. I'm thankful for what Keith gave us.

I guess I am a little blessed and fortunate to live where I do. Keith Whitley is from a bordering county (Elliott County) and Ricky Skaggs is from another bordering county (Lawrence County) and still yet in another bordering county (Johnson County) there came two girls by the name of Loretta Lynn and Crystal Gayle and a guy named Chris Stapleton. Just about an hour and half down the road a couple of guys named Bobby and Sonny Osbourne who live in (Leslie County). My mom worked with Bobby back in the fifties when they worked at NCR in Dayton, Ohio. Bobby and his cousin Dean Osbourne run a school that teaches Bluegrass music at the local college in Hazard, KY. Back during that period of time this video was filmed, it seemed that there was a Bluegrass festival about every weekend, somewhere. One of my best friends and myself went to Natural Bridge in Slade, KY, I believe it was the same year 1977, and we saw this same group. We stood about five feet away from the stage, so we got a good view and good listening. Back then the performers interacted with the people and would talk with you like they knew you. (Some still do) A few years ago I looked out my front door and seen a fancy horse trailer and pickup truck at the barn of a friend I went to high school with and wondered who in the world owned that fancy thing. My cousin worked for the guy, so later that day I asked my cousin, I said Al who was that in that fancy rig over at Paul's barn? He said you won't believe it, that was Ralph Stanley, he bought one of Paul's prize mules. I know Keith and Ricky first met at a Bluegrass competition about five miles from the house in a little place called Ezel, KY. My cousin and her husband along with a good friend and Ricky Skaggs brother sang gospel music in several of the local churches. I know Keith's brother Dwight also done a little playing and singing, not sure if he still does or not. There are so many VERY talented musicians and singers around here it's unreal, seems like every other person plays some kind of instrument and there are several that are REALLY good vocalists. I have Dean Osborne on facebook and can keep up with him and Bobby that way, and with others also. As I said I am blessed and fortunate to live where I do, and I try not to take it for granted as much as I used to, because not everybody is so fortunate to be surrounded by all this GREAT music, and GREAT people.

It's rough when you have a kid that talented, you don't want to hold them back from their dreams, but it puts them in a very adult world with no parental supervision, and he grew up way too fast. He paid a horrible price for it, as did all of us who loved his music.

I love this so much. Every member brings something to the group. Keith and Ralph may have the most talent, but that Curly Ray is such a character.

At 28:40, the most haunting and memorable of ANY of the songs on this evening was "I've Just Seen The Rock Of Ages" -- Keith Whitley was amazing at old time bluegrass vocals to start this song out, and when Ralph joins him a few moments later we are blessed with a duet that will always stand the test of time as there will never be a sound quite like that ever again. Ricky Scaggs was in the crowd cheering them on too.

Keith Whitley when he sang real bluegrass and it's some of the best singing ever. Ralph is undoubtedly the man.
