I don't understand why everyone is so surprised to see someone out like that.  They are just regular people like you and I, they just got alot more money and more people know who they are.  But all in all they still like to go out and be just normal people.

Although it is nice to meet them and talk to'em like that.

Troutfisher:  You may be interested to know, since you said you were at a bluegrass convention.  That Ralph Stanley and Jim & Jesee McReynolds are from my hometown.  I see Ralph all the time and know him quite well, he and my grandfather grew up together and were good friends.

That's awesome.  Jim and Jesse had a great group, and Jesse still does good picking.  I love Ralph's banjo picking as well.  8-)

J&J might have been from Coeburn, but they never really claimed the place.

Now Ralph, on the other hand...  ;D  Kind of like grocery shopping and running into Alice Cooper in the spice isle.

Yep, old Ralph gets around pretty good.

that's awesome u got to meet KVD! when i was on the water in Lake Toho during the Classic a couple of years ago i got to meet Rick Clunn...except i had my arse hangin over the back of the boat doin some business..he still waved though! ;D

Thats awesome man! KVD is a super nice guy. I was at an Elite Series event a couple of years ago on Lake Guntersville (KVD didnt make it to the final day) and I was really looking forward to meeting him, but didnt see him during the event. So, I was heading to my car and I look over in the parking lot, and hes walking right beside me! I got an autograph and all. He was super nice about it. Pretty neat!
