I have been listening to a variety of country music story ballads the last few weeks (my current favourite line: "There's a little box of pine, on the 7:29") and naturally Mac Wiseman ("Little Blossom", "Bringing Mary Home", and other delightful horrors, etc.) looms large with that great voice. Anyone know anything about him (I know he is a bluegrass stalwart, recorded with Monroe and Flatt& Scruggs, etc.) as a person? He seems to have been around forever. All I know about him is that Rick Fielding once said that he was about the only person in bluegrass that didn't play a Martin guitar. Just interested. I can't find a decent Web site about him, though he appears to be everywhere.
Yours, Peter T.
