Awesome. Apparently I can't hear Mac Wiseman singing this on YouTube (why TF not?!) but this is a close and totally unexpected second best. Dr. Ralph, you're the best.
I am always awed when I see and hear Bill's mandolin picking. There may be faster ones who can get more notes in, but nobody has the mastery of the instrument that Bill had, which is a big reason why his music became so popular. I've seen a lot of good mandolin pickers over the years, but I am always blown away by Bill's picking, and this is as good an example as any.
Bill kept Ralph &Carter out of the G rand Ole Opry for a long time. He also kept Earl and Lester out for a while. Bill owned more than half of the Opry.
@1RamTough He didn't keep Carter and Ralph off the Opry...Carter was his favorite lead singer of all time. Carter was part of the feud. Carter and Ralph were at a festival with Bill and a Carter Stanley who had been drinking...Said some bad things about "FLATT AND SCRUGGS"...I don't think Lester and Carter ever patched things up....Carter was one of the few musicians in Bluegrass he actually loved and respected...Bill sang "SWING LOW SWEET CHARIOT" at Carter's funeral.
50+ million people have seen about every lady gaga, justin beiber, and eminem video here on youtube while 5233 of us have seen this one. WE FEW BLESSED!!!!

Carter had the best voice of them all - just to bad he loved the bottle a little to much.
