"''This great man,' Ralph Stanley said in his tongue-in-cheek introduction, 'was given the Living Legend Award by Congress.' There was a moment for applause, and then the list of accolades went on for a few minutes -- reminding the audience that during a 59-year career, Stanley has become bluegrass's ultimate icon."
