‘It was a sold-out weekend of shows in Newberry, South Carolina, and Clintwood, Virginia and we enjoyed the fans at each show.

At the Clintwood, Virginia show, I was surprised to receive the beautiful plaque (photo above) as a gift from Nathan Stanley, grandson of the late Dr. Ralph Stanley (Friday 25 February 1927 – Thursday 23 June 2016).

The plaque was in honour of my 60 years in country music, and was presented to me by Mr. Danny Lambert, Mayor of Clintwood.

I certainly wasn’t expecting anything like this, but I want to give a big ‘thank you’ to Mayor Danny Lambert, and to my friend, Nathan Stanley, for this honour.

I’m truly grateful for the friendship, and for the wonderful gifts’
