You mentioned a seven foot cowboy; My
great-uncle, George osborne, regularly played with the Stanley Brothers as a
Permenant Guest. He was a Tex Ritter impersonator, and was about 6'6"
tall.

Hello
all,
I lived in many towns in
southwest Virginia in the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s before entering military
service in 1954. I was a regular listener to Farm and Fun Time on WCYB. The
Stanley Brothers was my favorite band. There were others that I would like to
know about. What happened to Bonnie Lou and Buster Moore? What about the seven
foot cowboy? I don't remember his name. There was a young fellow by the name
of Lindy Clear. If anyone can remember these folks, please let me know. You
see I missed a lot after I left the area. I spent more than twenty-one years
active duty with the military and now I'm living in Vermont. Thanks for
listening.
