Ralph Stanley T-shirt

On a road trip back in 2006 I visited the Ralph Stanley museum and bought this T-shirt at the just opened and up to date interactive museum. After visiting Clintwood, i went down to attend a concert with Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys featuring his son and band members with whom Dr. Stanley as played for more than 50 years. The concert was held at the Russel County Fair and Horse Show, Castlewood, Virginia.
