O Death, you've claimed another soul, RIP Ralph Stanley

…string theory says that all subatomic particles of the universe are nothing but musical notes. A, B-flat, C-sharp, correspond to electrons, neutrinos, quarks, and what have you. Therefore, physics is nothing but the laws of harmony of these strings. Chemistry is nothing but the melodies we can play on these strings. The universe is a symphony of strings and the mind of God… it is cosmic music resonating through 11 dimensional hyperspace.

Yeah, I always loved hearing Stanley and bro/etc. on NPR over the years. Never liked Bluegrass but they referred to his music as "Old Time Music" which is sort of a hybrid of Bluegrass (or proto-Bluegrass), Folk Music and a few other things.

Mostly, Ralph Stanley just always seemed like he was coming from a very deep place in his soul, very authentic, warm, energetic, but not repetitive. A unique voice. He will be missed, but lived a good long life, and influenced countless musicians.
