Nathan Stanley to Receive Best Classic Country CD of the Year at National Old-Time Country & Bluegrass Festival, 8/29

Anyone connected to, or familiar with, 'country' music has probably heard the name Stanley. Probably lots of folks have been exposed to the Stanley name, especially the Stanley Brothers, preservationists of mountain music, or as they liked to call it, 'old timey country.' The brothers are being inducted into America's Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame this year. Ralph Stanley, the surviving Stanley Brother, was a huge hit in the movie 'O Brother Where Art Thou.' His brother Carter, the smooth vocalist and songwriter for the duo, passed away in 1966 from cirrhosis of the liver. He was only 41 years old. Ralph has carried on the musical tradition of the Stanley Brothers, mostly with his band the Clinch Mountain Boys. This 'tradition' is vitally important to fans of country music, when it was actually 'country.' Today, most country music leans heavily on rock-and-roll, and even rap, in an attempt to attract a young audience. But in the doing, perhaps major labels have tossed the baby out with the bath water, when it comes to actually projecting a true 'country' image in the music they produce.'

Dating back more than 2,000 years, the tradition of acrobats is to China what ballet and opera is to the west. World renowned as an art form combining both physical and mental acuity, the acrobat's immense athletic strength, balance, and timing is a demonstration of mind and body focus, and inner harmony - the spiritual pearl of Chinese philosophy.
