Unquestionably Roy Acuff, Bob-there can be no debate! :-))



"detour, there's a muddy road ahead, detour,
pay no mind to what i said, detour..."

yeah, that high lonesome sound, borrowed from bill monroe, was the first
of my musical memories, just after the end of ww2. i remember listening to
babe ruth growl his thanks through a cancer filled, alchohol racked body, in
yankee stadium, out into a better medium than the internet will ever be...
and then, later that evening, in the big house in gold hill, nc, hearing
ernest tubb defy that bitch by singing "walking the floor over you..."

oh, hell, how could i forget tex ritter, with "deck of cards"...
