Bluegrass Pioneer Ralph Stanley Dies At 89



One of the early leaders of bluegrass music, Ralph Stanley, has died at age 89. His death was announced by his grandson Nathan Stanley; Stanley's publicist said in a statement that the cause was complications from skin cancer.

Ralph and his older brother Carter started out in the late 1940s as a duo. After Carter died in 1966, Ralph continued with his band the Clinch Mountain Boys and built a fan base fiercely devoted to his straightforward banjo and archaic-type singing known as the "high lonesome" mountain sound.

High Lonesome

Stanley's sound came in part from the fact that he often sang in a minor key, while his band played in a happy-sounding major key.

John Wright, who wrote a book on Stanley called Traveling the High Way Home, says that tension between minor and major, plus what he called Stanley's unearthly smokey vocal tone, "gives this old-time mysterious flavor to the singing. The voice sounds like it's coming out of the past, like a ghost or something like that."

Stanley himself told WHYY's Fresh Air in 2002 that he was aware his voice was special, "a gift I think that God's given me, and he means me to use that."

Virginia Roots

Stanley recalled growing up poor on a farm in southwest Virginia, using a stick as a make-believe banjo

He and his brother Carter started playing professionally on local radio in Bristol, Va., in 1946, calling their show Farm and Fun Time. Trying to compete against more mainstream country music and rock-and-roll, they moved toward a smoother duet style.

After Carter's death, Ralph moved back to the traditional sound. He also drew on his childhood experiences in the Baptist Church and started presenting a capella solo and quartet religious songs on the bluegrass stage, something that wasn't common before.

O, Brother

Ralph Stanley entered the Bluegrass Hall of Fame in 1992, but his unearthly tenor catapulted him to much wider fame when, in 2000 at age 73, he was asked to sing the song "O, Death" for the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou.

He told Fresh Air he was surprised by the reaction, but also gratified with the letters from people who said "that sound caused them to change their life, and I ... believe that gift was given to me for that purpose."

How To Find The Root Cause of Your Illness or Ailment - Teal Swan

"Knowing the physical cause of ailments is an essential part of healing from them. However, it is ignorant to believe that the physical cause of an illness was in fact the root cause of the illness itself. The story of what caused an ailment starts way before we even see a physical cause. Saying that an ailment began with the obvious physical cause of that ailment is the same as saying that the song you are listening to comes from the radio on your nightstand. We all know that the story of where the song actually came from, begins way, way back before it ever reached the radio on your nightstand. In this episode, Teal explains how to find the rot cause of your illness or ailment."

I found Rex Woods painting "Britannia" online, and decided to commemorate the occasion with my own artistic modification/update. I dedicate this to all Brits who said NO and voted out! And to all Brits who have the courage to face an uncertain future, and prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery!

Imperial Japan, the Bomb & the Pacific Powder Keg // Empire_File031

From Abby Martin

"Obama’s high-profile trip to Hiroshima was accompanied by a media storm that gave endless justifications for the US use of the atomic bomb on Japanese civilians. The myths are widely accepted in society, and underpin the notion of American exceptionalism.

Abby Martin interviews Dr. Peter Kuznick, co-author with Director Oliver Stone of the bestselling book and HBO series "The Untold History of the United States,” about the real story behind the use of the atomic bombs—as well as the untold history of Imperial Japan, its role today for the US Empire, and the danger for new war on the horizon."
