“THE VOICE THAT ONCE CHANGED HIM — LAST NIGHT, HE SANG TO SAY GOODBYE.” He still remembers being 16, standing in the grass with a cheap festival wristband and wide-open eyes. Then Ralph Stanley stepped to the mic, and everything around him went quiet. That mournful, soul-deep voice hit him like a truth he didn’t know he was waiting for. Vince Gill said that no other bluegrass voice ever reached that far inside him. And last night, at Ralph’s funeral, he stood beside Patty Loveless and Ricky Skaggs and sang “Go Rest High On That Mountain.” His voice shook a little. Not from fear — from love. 💔
