Today I am looking at program American Pickers and they were talking to an old man who had a bord of Ralph Stanley, so I took my Phone and go on KZbin, and I found Ralph Stanley and brother and the Band. And I love those old songs. It don't matter I live in Holland, Rotterdam. But music have no face. I love this music and I also love western music. Bless you all.

Awesome! I'm glad you found the Stanley Brothers! Here in The United States, our Stanley Brothers are considered sacred and very very special! And they were wholesome and Christian men, who really lived GOD and singing about The LORD to uplift people around the world! There's really not anything else quite like Carter and Ralph Stanley!!! VERY VERY VERY talented and VERY humble too! They are missed... So, welcome to our family of music! Enjoy! I find that the more I listen to the Stanley Brothers over any other music the better of a person I am and the better I handle life and the better I treat people and think of myself and everything just seems more peaceful and seems more right and less wrong when I listen to a lot of these brother's music! 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🙂

Best traditional singing band ever. No matter who were the sidemen. Always understood singing was what this music is about. Ralph carried on well, but no one matched Carter.
@dabneyoffermein5953 жыл бұрын
Look at how Ralph was just going at It on the banjo, unmistakable style. And let's talk about Carter....some an amazing musician... I hope everyone who watches this realized how good a pair they were. Just legends.

CARTER was one cool customer. Called the “Appalachian savant” by Tom T Hall, who also averred that CARTER was in the same category as an artist and songwriter as Hank Williams.

REALLY??? Carry is my favorite artist of all time!!! Stanley Brothers would be the one band is choose if I could only have one for the rest of my life in earth! I don't really know a lot about him other than his music and one interview I heard one time on an airplane but anything you know feel free to fill me in I'd love to hear about it it's very interesting that you said that but what do you mean by Appalachian savant like I know a savant is someone who's just sort of naturally talented and just wholely encompasses an art form of some sort like piano or something without really having to try at it usually autistic savant is what people are generally talking about but I know that savant is also sometimes used as a sort of slang term for someone who just is naturally talented but doesn't necessarily have to be autistic lol! But for real fill me in please!!!! 😊👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼😁🙃😀

@@negotiator96 Yes, T meant “unusually talented” especially coming from the hills. I’m too young to have known Carter but Ralph was one of my best friends for decades. Sounds like you’re bitten by the Stanley bug. Same here. Have fun.

@@CAROLUSPRIMAwow!! That's really cool! I wish Carter would have lived much longer! But he more than managed to secure his legend and they thankfully were about it! When it came to writing originals and recording songs from other artists and standards and traditionals... So, luckily there is plenty of Carter and Ralph especially to listen to! Thank GOD for letting all of us have them for the times we do! 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼🙂

The fact that banjo players of that era started out playing it one way (clawhammer) and then had to switch to another way is impressive, especially the way people like Stanley were able to master the finger roll way of playing.

Mike years ago I saw Ralph play and he mentioned he was at WCYB radio in Bristol when Don Reno talked Earl Scruggs into trading banjos. Three of the banjo greats in the same studio! I think Ralph said it was 1948.

I started picking in 1965 and I've seen so many truly great musicians cross over. It saddens me to no end. The kids now coming up through the ranks are mindblowing technitions but the soul of bluegrass lies at the headstones of Ralph and Carter, Bill Monroe, Charlie Waller, Doc Watson, Kenny Baker, Buck Graves, Lester and Earl, and so many more. A far cry from some clown with a pointed black tongue or a chick hanging naked from a wrecking ball. It's just not the same world.

My wife loves that song since i played it for her!.... 👍🏼✌🏼✌🏼✌🏼 Pretty little miss out in the garden Strange young man come riding by Down at the gate he did address her Saying pretty little miss won't you marry me No kind sir, I have a love on the ocean Seven years gone, sailing on the sea And if he sails seven years longer No man on earth can marry me What if he's drowned out on the ocean Or lying dead in a battle land What if he's found some other girl to marry You'll never see your love again If he is drownded I hope he's happy Or lying dead in a battle land Or if he's found some other girl to marry I'll love that girl who marries him He took his hand out of of his pocket His fingers being both keen and small This is the ring you placed upon him And at his feet she did fall He picked her up in his arms so tender Kisses he gave her one, two, three This is your love, some say a sailor Returning home for to marry thee
