Ralph Stanley, the most towering figure in traditional Appalachian music, will appear in an exclusive area engagement at the Historic Blairstown Theatre on Saturday, December 3, 2011. Ralph Stanleys voice is not of this century. Nor of the last one, for that matter. Its stark emotional urgency is rooted in a darker time, when pain was the
common coin of life and the world offered sinful humanity no hope of refuge. Preserved in the cultural amber of remote Appalachia, this terse, forlorn sound is the bedrock of Stanleys inimitable style. But dont mistake an ancient voice for ancient ways. Stanley tours and performs with the vigor and elan of a rock star.
It's a war that's rarely discussed. It's a war that's rarely reached along a textbook timeline. It is a war that students today have little knowledge of, however, once captivated in the truths of a hero's anguish, it is a war that grants a lesson far beyond the printed word of academic standard. "I got a letter from Uncle Sam and it said, 'Greetings'. Greetings? I was drafted. I was 18, and being sent to the Vietnam War," expressed United States Army Staff Sergeant John Jenkins to a still group of students at Hope Township School. "I thought to myself, ah, this is no big deal. And so, I went to Newark for my physical and passed the test. I didn't go home, I just got on a Pan American flight headed to Vietnam, was dropped off in the jungle by a helicopter, and thought, ah, no big deal. And then, in a matter of minutes of being dropped, two bullets flew by me. I didn't see them, I heard them, like a strong wind blowing right by me. That's when I knew... this is a big deal." Fourth and fifth graders were instantly drawn in by SSgt. Jenkins as he spoke to them about his service during a Veterans Day Assembly at the school. Maybe because he was a hero to them of which had nothing to do with war; he was, after all, "B" bus driver for company First Student and notably referenced by his Hope riders as "THE best bus driver ever". However, 'bus driver John' was not only the man who got them safely to their destination, but as well, an unspoken, humble man
