The worlds of traditional country music and bluegrass have gotten hit hard in these last few days. Over the weekend, it was Jessie McReynolds; and now it is Bobby Osborne, one of the Osborne Brothers, known for their 1968 bluegrass classic "Rocky Top". He has passed into the Great Beyond at the age of 91:
"I think honesty is of the first, utmost importance in art... any art. After that comes technique and... after that comes talent. Honesty is first. All the rest of the things are important, too, but they're secondary. Without honesty, I don't care how much technique you have, you have nothing."--Linda Ronstadt
