Carter Stanley
My Sweetheart and I had the BEST time at Dr. Ralph Stanley's 37th Annual "Hills of Home" Festival. We are both Stanley Brothers fanatics who hold Dr. Stanley and his late brother Carter in high regard. Most folks don't have a clue who Carter Stanley was, so being where EVERYONE reveres him was a blast.
Laid back doesn't begin to describe the scene. Dr Stanley played 2 sets per day, and we sat right in front of the stage and videotaped each one. I have over 7 hours of footage of the trip!
It's one of the very few opportunities I have where I can go see guys who played on the 78s I collect.
We'll be back next year for certain, and every year that Dr. Stanley's still kicking. He was in great spirits and AMAZING voice this year. Hope I'm that spry when I'm 80.
