   About The Modfathers
The duo that later became The Modfathers (Seth Hall and Dee Porter) met in Raleigh, North Carolina on a sunny winter's day in 1997. Several pre-Modfather incarnations ensued until the summer of 1998 when the two relocated to Athens, Georgia. The Modfathers rocked Athens for five years and recorded their self titled album with David Barbee at Chase Park Transduction Studio. Besides Hall and Porter, The Modfathers consisted of different musicians at different times; most notably Peter Alvanos (Fabulous Bird), Lucas Jensen (Big Gray), and Tommy Salmon (of The High Caliber). By 2003, with Porter back in North Carolina and Hall in New York, The Modfathers were on an extended and undetermined hiatus. Skip to 2006: Hall and Porter once again in North Carolina's Capital City.

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.


D. Kaye Hill
PO Box 2553
Harrisonsonburg VA 22801


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."


"Don't you think it's time?"
