Three Generations of Stanleys

It was three generation of Stanleys at the Narrows Friday night, with Dr. Ralph, Ralph II,(over to the side) and grandson Nathan (below) along with the Clinch Mountain Boys.

It was Dr. Ralph Stanley's first visit to the Narrows. He and his crew were one of the most accessible acts we've ever had, making themselves available to the fans even before the performance, which is very rare.

Yes--he did "O Death," which gained fame from his appearance doing the song in the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou" with George Clooney.

By the way: Members of one of the hottest roots groups in the country, Low Anthem, were in attendance.
