Yes I had heard this too, he supposedly played drums on a Stanleys session at King Studios in Cincinnati. It could have happened...James got his start as a drummer, did indeed do some sessions (including "Mashed Potatoes" by Nat Kendrick & the Swans), & like most southern blacks of his generation grew up listening to the Grand Ole Opry. I will try to remember to ask Ralph when I see him in the spring. bw ****************************************************************** BUDDY WOODWARD - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - - - - - - THE DIXIE BEE LINERS - bluegrass with a buzz http://www.dixiebeeliners.com - - - - - - BUDDY WOODWARD & THE NITRO EXPRESS http://www.buddywoodward.net ****************************************************************** Bluegrass Bulletin Board brought to you by the fan club of Dr Ralph Stanley & His Clinch Mountain Boys subscribe or unsubscribe at http://drralphstanley.com/email.shtml
