Born in 1927 in Big Spraddle VA, Ralph Stanley was the second child of Lucy Jane and Lee Stanley.
There is no songwriter like David Carroll. He calls himself the “hardest-working Austro-Czech-American-Irish-Jew in showbusiness,” and his uniquely syncretic background comes across in his tunes.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates that about 1 in 88 children has been identified with an autism spectrum disorder (ASD), affecting over two million people around the country and tens of millions worldwide; a ten-fold increase in prevalence in 40 years.
