Subject: One-man show in Silver Spring 'bout Carter Stanley -- Next Sunday (April 17)

Date: April 10, 2016 at 7:37:19 PM EDT

To: undisclosed-recipients:;

I'm honored to be hosting a one-man play (with occasional music) about the legendary Carter Stanley who wrote the songs, played the music, and self-destructed.  Gary Reid's depiction of Carter conveys  a passionate artist possessed of a rare gift . . . but sadly lacking the street smarts to navigate the complicated world of a performing artist.  

 

Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass, once called Carter the "best natural lead singer" he'd ever heard. The songs he wrote and the recordings he made helped form the foundation of a music that is now a world-wide phenomenon. Gone from the music scene for 50 years, Carter's legacy is largely forgotten.   A Life of Sorrow affords today's audiences a chance to connect with this bluegrass legend as he recounts highlights from his life and career, including childhood days on the family farm, old-time musicians who influenced him, his songwriting, struggles with alcohol, stories from life on the road, and his admiration for Bill Monroe.

 

A Life of Sorrow is the creation of Gary Reid, a bluegrass enthusiast and historian for over 40 years and the foremost authority on the music of the Stanley Brothers. 

 

My neighbors will be making gourmet pizzas for sale at 5pm.  There's no obligation to opt for pizza, but I ask that you bring a beverage to share.

 

I expect a full house, so please email or phone me to reserve a seat.

[dcab-l] CIRCA BLUE

Many THANKS to CIRCA BLUE for putting on a great show last night at the Weekend Bluegrass concert Series in Herndon, Virginia.  They are truly all about bluegrass as their music ranged from the traditional to the contemporary styles with side branches along the way as well.  Great vocal harmony and absolute mastery of their instruments.  Catch these folks when they are in your area as you'll have a grand evening of superb music with some chuckling as well.
