The Stanley Brothers, Rank Stranger
Hey yall. Just to clear up any questions, "No" that's not us singing. Was not trying to fool anyone here, I just love the song and felt like doing a video for it. My neighbors and I can't carry a tune in a bucket if we had to. The microphones are made of wood and if you watch you can see the dogs disappear about mid way of the screen. I only had one microphone so I had to split the screen in order to do this. The video is Clearly marked, "The Stanley Brothers" and if you can't enjoy the video move on. Was not trying to disrespect Ralf Stanley in anyway shape or form. What I respect is that his music has touch so many lives and there are so many folks out there that still enjoy the man. If I could sing, I would want to sing just as you see here, "Ralf Stanley". For those that I have offended doing this video, my apologies, sorry for my creativity, and wanting to honor a great man. In one hand I'm thinking, "Man... You really can't please everyone." In the other hand I'm thinking, "Well, I was not trying to." Enjoy the video if you can. Oh yeah, almost forgot, I know what a mandolin is and sounds like, sorry again, all I had handy was the Banjo.
