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.

Darn tooty. Good article overall, but a few folks were missed besides the obvious (Chris, Hylo & myself). Melvin & Ray Goins (the Goins Brothers) Hylo Brown Don Rigsby Jason Carter Larry Cordle Scottie Sparks Ray Craft John Rigsby (give him time) Kevin Prater (give him time) Johnny Paycheck I know there are others and these came to mind very quickly, but the region is rich in talent! Really interesting stuff to. The Highway 23 Jamboree is hosted by the guy I play music with, Rob McNurlin. Danny Craig, who gets interviewed by the writer, and I were co-workers the past year, his own business grew and he's his own boss these days. Julie Revees mother, Rosemary Stewart has been a friend of the family since I was the BO-BABY. Kayla Hall's dad and uncle are frinds of mine, and the uncle is a hoss cat bluegrass singer! on and on and on Bo McCarty, "THE BO-MAN" MAY IS BLUEGRASS MUSIC MONTH now go do something to help! http://home1.gte.net/theboman/
