I found this newspaper clipping in mom's old Bible yesterday. It was in
the Hickory Daily Record, God only knows what date it was. Enjoy!]]>

"He's one of those rare guys who what he does is so pure and so defined, and he's so unwavering in it," said singer-songwriter Gillian Welch, who's recorded and performed with Stanley.There is a audio slide show as well.]]>
