Influences
In High School I discovered early Joan Baez and Dylan records(keep in mind these were the days of dicso verses what we now call classic rock).These recordings introduced me to the music of the Carter family ,Childe ballads and eventually the the great body of American music known as folk,the blues,bluegrass, country etc.The recordings I have had to replace due to overuse as of late say ,since I started making recordings are as follows in no order of importance; Rodney Crowell's Houston Kid, Todd Snyders Nashville Skyline, Steve Earle's The Mountain and Jerulselam, Frank Blacks, Honey Comb, Magnolia Electric co (the one with the dark dont hide it),M Wards Transistor,Richard Bukner 's Since, John Hiatts Crossing Muddy Waters, Iron and Wine(the first) ,a live performance by Ben Weaver at the sidewalk cafe a hundred years ago,and thats just what comes to mind now...more later

HELP PUT THE STANLEY BROTHERS IN THE COUNTRY MUSIC HALL OF FAME!
Ralph Stanley has received many well-deserved honors in the last few years, yet one honor eludes him. While many of their fellow musicians and singers have been recognized by The Country Music Hall of Fame, THE STANLEY BROTHERS have been sadly -- some say criminally -- overlooked.
Jeanie Stanley, youngest daugher of Carter, and fan Kaye Hill have organized an on-going petition to change all that.
"The Country Music Hall of Fame recognizes those persons who have made a significant contribution to the country music field," says Hill. "The Stanley Brothers helped lay the foundation for what we have today. Their names deserve to be listed among greats like Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs, who have already be recognized."
You can join their efforts in one of the following ways:
Contact the CMHoF directly:
Mr. Kyle Young, President
Country Music Hall of Fame & Museum
222 Fifth Avenue South
Nashville TN 37203
Or, if you prefer, you can send a letter to Kaye Hill, who will forward them to the HoF.

Kay says, "a simple one-line note is all that would be required, but please remember to supply your name and address, and an email address if applicable. I will be collecting all letters and forwarding them to the Country Music Hall of Fame."
