I didn't get hooked on Bluegrass till I heard the Stanley brothers sing. Tunes like "A Voice From On High", man thats good. Then Hazel Dickens set the hook. I saw Ralph perform but never Carter, he died when I was one year old. As for the stuff about "Undiscovered" people being good musicians, yeah I agree. The music biz encourages people to not belive this so they can sell the "Stars" records. I grew up with a guy who has been on the cover of Rolling Stone, headlined MTV's music awards, etc... but I know I'm a better musician, technically, emotionally, spititually, (sounds like I'm bitter, maby I am). I think the Cop mentioned earlier in this thread has the right idea.
