@jodimuli Thanks Joey! They are old time bluegrass songs. Not mainstream but he has a big following.

That song was in O Brother, love it.

@victoriaboyd Thanks Victoria, we love that movie too.

I love the look of pride on Nathan's face as he plays for his grandfather.
This is a beautiful portrait of them both.

Nice shot

He has had quite a career! Good to know he can still entertain a crowd! Great close candid!

[Deanna Russell]

Awesome shot! You should print this out and get him to autograph if you get a chance! Of course print two so you can gift him with one! I love his grandsons expression too!

I love Ralph Stanley and the Stanley Brothers too. I have a couple of his CDs. They don't make them like that any more. Love seeing this picture of him and grandson.

@drussell Thanks Deanna, That is a good Idea!

Wonderful portrait of them both

Great shot. I never really knew who Ralph Stanley was but my husband's band plays a song by Kasey Chambers called "If I Had a Pony." There's a line that say, If I had a baby I'd name it after Ralph Stanley. I've often wondered who he was, so thanks for posting this picture.

@wozencraft Betty, Thanks so much for sharing this story with me! It is what makes 365 so much fun. I read your story to my husband and we both got the biggest laugh!
