A not-too-bad article about Rt 23 in Eastern Ky as the source of
country and bluegrass musicians appears in today's (Thurs) NY Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/yr/mo/day/news/arts/kentucky-musicians.html

Although it's a little patronizing in places ("Ashland, Ky, a town
of 27,000 with an oil refinery and two Wal-Marts") it's not a bad
article.

Bruce Weber talks about the friendship between Skaggs and Keith Whitley:

"Ricky used to tell us,
'I like comin' over here to eat because you'uns cook with lard,"'
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
recalled Mary Whitley-Bailey, Whitley's sister)"

The only problem is, they left out Hylo Brown, the Bo-man, and me.
