@leedrfam yep, sorry to say he was! and a proud card carrying democrat too! HIPOCRISY comes to mind. it's my understanding that he was quite high up in the KKK of WVa. Of course, he's still good enough that Pres. Barry gave his eulogy at the funeral. I'm thinking about that word again..... HYPOc....

Not a great fiddler in terms of sound (clearness, purity, quality) but still interesting to see.

President Carter seems to enjoy this. As he should, of course. Senator Byrd was a fine fiddler.

He was a great American and proud West Virginian! As a republican, I always admired him. He always got the job (any job) completed! Sam

What a great American!

I don't think that's the White House. I think that's Ford's Theatre.

Great country and bluegrass performer. I'm at the opposite end of most of his politics, but I did appreciate the professionalism of his decorum. RN

Truly a great man and statesman.W. Virginia you were the envy of the rest of us to have had such a senator.

Tellin' ya, that is actually some first-class fiddling.
In a hundred years, if we still have a country by then despite the attempt to hand it all over to corporations (by both the varsity and junior varsity versions of the U.S. Corporate Party), students will be listening to Byrd's speech against the Iraq use-of-force resolution as one of the greatest minority opposition speeches in the nation's history. Still gives me chills just thinking about it--all the thousands who've died since then.
