08/29/2010 (rebroadcast from 08/22/2010) - A tribute to the late Kentucky fiddler Art Stamper includes four of his cuts spanning 1961 to 1990, with the Stanley Brothers, Bill Clifton, Larry Sparks, and a solo project. There’s interesting trivia (during a 26-year hiatus in his bluegrass career, Stamper was a successful Louisville hairdresser; Fincastle, VA, site of the first multi-day bluegrass festival, was once capital of the entire Kentucky and Ohio territories) and controversy (about nasal singing, poor grammar, and the Osborne Brothers’ bluegrass/hip-hop version of “Rocky Top” -- which made some listeners madder than hornets). A production of the International Bluegrass Music Museum.
