Good Show!     I agree with Mr Sullins wholeheartedly. I am a Kentucky resident born and raised, and have traveled all over the world. It has never ceased to please me just how much more truly dignified, proper, and classy the people of the Appalachian region are than those peoples around the world who are thought to be the "cultured ones". My parents and other elders always taught us that regardless of whether you agree with someone's opinion or not you should relish the fact that we live in a world where every man woman and child is free and expected to have their own ability to develop their own opinions, and thus they should expect and welcome everyone to do so, even if they dont agree, and that that is precisely what makes our society so great. And in fact, give and take like that is likely to open your minds to allow you to develop you own opinion even more, perhaps even enhancing it by this give and take of differing opinions.  I have been a musician all my life. I play lead guitar in a rock and roll band. But when I listen to music, NOTHING shakes my emotions to my very soul like the Stanley brand:):):) I have many many friends who tease me with comments like - "How many bluegrass players does it take to plug in an electric guitar? ... NONE, What the heck is electric?" But they respect my music regardless of whether they tease me about it. They are the first ones to defend my right to appreciate all music all the time - As they do themselves - They may not want to play it, or listen to it, but they do respect it. And whenever I bring out my guitar to play with them, they welcome me with open arms and make me feel at home. They just dont let me plug in to an amplifier:):):):):)   Harry Sublett
