The Old Boy is Still in the Game
Just a couple days ago I added a post for the Del McCoury Bands Grammy for Best Bluegrass Album. Well today is Del McCoury's 75th Birthday. Born in York, Pennsylvania, he performed for a short time in the 1960's with Bill Monroe. Since the 80's he has fronted his own band, which includes his sons, Robbie and Ronnie. In 2003 he became a member if the Grand Ole Opry.
Here is a song written in tribute to him, by his bass player, Alan Bartram, who sings the song is this video.
