John Starling and Carolina Star create the kind of music that has critics raving, fans cheering and other musicians shaking their heads in amazement. They’ve been doing it for over thirty years, but if the name doesn’t have the immediate cache befitting these acoustic music legends, it’s because Carolina Star is the newest incarnation of a musical partnership that stretches back more then 30 years. That’s when John Starling (guitar, vocals), Mike Auldridge (dobro, vocals) and Tom Gray (bass vocals) first began playing together. Back then they went by the name Seldom Scene and their stunning musicianship and Starling’s soulful, emotive vocals, helped the band become one of the most influential acoustic groups of the 1970s. Their seminal work from that period influenced a whole generation of musicians including Emmylou Harris and Ricky Skaggs.
The new record, Slidin’ Home, is a warm, intimate and engaging piece of work from three of the most celebrated musicians in the acoustic music fold. It opens with “Waitin’ On A Train,” a rolling, bittersweet travelogue about trying to get back home. The disc segues into the darkly, ominous “Cold Hard Business,” before ramping things up with “South Riding Tango,” an instrumental that marries bluegrass and classical music into an invigorating, original mix. Old friend Emmylou Harris shows up to add her typically stunning vocals on “In My Hour of Darkness,” a song she co-wrote with Gram Parsons. The song is a gospel-tinged tour de force featuring some of the most emotionally raw and poignant singing of Starling’s storied career. Another standout is a cover of the Little Feat classic “Willin’.” The band’s subtle, acoustic approach and Starling’s restrained vocals put a new plaintive spin on this classic open-road anthem. The band revels in their high-lonesome roots with “Those Two Blue Eyes,” a classic bluegrass song in theme and tone. The album closes with “A Prayer For My Friends,” an uplifting thank you to friends and loved ones that sings like a lullaby—it’s the perfect way to end an album from some of the most respected and beloved musicians working in acoustic music.
being on the spiritual path. being on the spiritual path is having the hunger that makes us seek and ask..and the spiritual is the beautiful and whatever makes us dance and laugh..the spiritual path is like a river and how water wears away the stone..of the islands we are stranded on all alone..and like a child running and playing in the rain..a sunflower on a cloudy day waiting for the sun to shine again..the growing pains and is our souls giving birth..to a new heaven and a more perfect earth.

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."
yorker hotties wont let you know how they feel about size.
I know from personal experience, I will tell you about a secret that yorker has made me promise to never ever tell anyone, but since he has not called me in three weeks after standing me up, I am going to break the promise and tell you how he went from having a tiny thing and in three months he is now about nine inches and get this, it is still getting bigger. He has been secretly taking grow packs from this site, copy and paste the address into your browser to see them.ZKAMA.COM
I found out when I was at his house, three saturdays ago, we were getting ready to go to the mall, so while he was in the shower, I went in his room, sneeked under his bed and found a box with packs in it, there was like seven full packs and three empty ones, all ordered from ZKAMA.COM I was laughing at first but then when he came in the room and caught me looking at them, he freaked out and made me sware to not ever tell anyone about them, especially girls from school or work that he has been dating for the past while, now that I think of it, he has been rather busy with all the popular girls around here, when just last year he was the shyest when it came to girls.
I just never put two and two together until he explained it all to me, I did see his johnson and yes, it is huge, pronostar huge, the thickest and longest one I ever seen.
I know this sounds really shallow, but I am considering ordering 6 packs from the website at ZKAMA.COM for you know who.. he does not have a web page, so he is not gonna see this. They guarentee that the packs will work on any man, or they give you your money back, living proof that they do work on any guy, seeing is believing.ZKAMA.COM

Hey Dr. John,
You (John D, Mike, Tom, and Ben) are responsible for my bluegrass addiction. My uncle got hooked on you guys in the 70's at the Birchmere. Of course he later got me hooked...He even passed down his old Seldom Scene lp's to me. I was pleased to get your new CD....Katey
You fellahs sure look familiar! Didn't I rub Larrys hair one night at The Cellar Door as he walked backstage? Well ... I appollogized once I got back there. Impressive for an 11 yr. old ... Appollogizing.
Hey! We recently added four new song to our space. Please stop by and listen and if you like that you hear, feel free to leave a comment./the Downtown Ramblers
Hi John! I have been a fan of your music for many years! Thank you for adding me to your friends! I just bought the new cd and I think that it is solid! You always surround yourself with incredible musicians as well. Stay safe on the road and I'll hopefully be seeing you soon. Casey
Thanks so much for adding me! I hope I can
further your understanding of our universe,
and give you realistic hope for "faster than
light" travel without violating relativity!
(And without having to be a physics expert!)
Thanks so much for being my friend! :-) My new record, "Gifts and Burdens", comes out on March 20. You can download songs for free here on myspace, or buy the record at CD Baby or on ITunes. There are cd release concerts scheduled in Seattle at the Triple Door and New York at the Living Room...you can check the website for details...until next time! xoxo
