Well, Gene Watson and Ralph Stanley are real country musicians, and Stanley did appear on the O Brother Where Art Thou soundtrack, singing [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoIebIKNS4s"]"O Death"[/url].
But I have no idea what that "Harmony H" bass is...

Oh how we lol'd.

What the hell does he think that piece of crap is? When I first read it I thought the whole thing was a wind-up, but I Googled the luminaries who are alleged to have scrawled on this piece of trash and they do/did appear to have existed:

So does he [i]seriously[/i] think this thing was made in the UK in 1955? What - didn't he ever go in Woolies in the 70s?

[/quote]He [i]produced[/i] it, but there were a lot of different musicians on there, and Ralph Stanley was one of them. I just read that Stanley's version of "O, Death" for the movie won him a Grammy award, "Best Male Country Vocal Performance". Ah niver knew thar was such uh fing!

they've got to be chicken oriental, what a muppet

"This is of great sentimental value" - is that an excuse for the £2300 BIN price?
