Saw them once, met all of them and got them to sign an album I bought at the festival. The best of the best JD R.I.P

Of course Starling's a better singer. Damn near the best. He's EmmyLou's favorite singer: I'd rather hear Starling sing Merle than hear Merle sing Merle. There's no shame in not being as good as the best.

PS: Low-key does not mean Lame.

@bangwhistle69 could stand to show some. As starling was getting ready to leave, many singers including Chris Stifel of the Country Store and (IIRC) Keith Whitley auditioned for the job. Gray, Auldridge, Eldridge and Duffey unanimously agreed Phil was a good fit (they adopted a "Quaker consensus" rule). Are you claiming to possess better judgment than the Seldom Scene? I can't figure out if that's lame or if that's hubris

One of the reasons a great art form like Bluegrass takes a back seat to crap like Taylor Swift, Big & Rich, etc. Just what in HELL is so funny to Rosenthal and Eldrige (banjo and guitar on left) when a song every bit as eloquent as Shakespeare is being performed? They might as well be throwing spit balls. Rosenthal was always LAME, LAME, LAME compared to John Starling. I have always LOVED the Seldom Scene, They are dressed like they areabout to change the oil in a car or something.
