   Art Stamper dies

   To say Art Stamper was "a fiddler" is about as much an understatement as   
   saying Merle Travis was "a guitarist".  One of the greats in bluegrass   
   history passed away in Louisville, KY Sunday night at the age of 71   
   following a four-year-long battle with throat cancer.   
      
   Art was as great without his fiddle as with.  My mom told a story of running   
   into him at a rehab center a couple of years ago.  She remarked what a   
   gracious gentleman he was (and how he knew me from my years of volunteering   
   at IBMA).   
      
   He will be sorely missed.
