Tatum Skaggs' grandfather had been a rancher, and Tatum had always dreamed of following in his footsteps - despite spending all his life in the city. Tatum, and his sister Shelly, decided to take their inheritance and move out west.
After all, it can't be that hard, right?

I'm an invalid and I was already productive today (went to the gynecologist and was informed that all my lady parts are in flawless condition) so now I'm doing absolutely nothing except lying on the sofa listening to vintage bluegrass all evening

Keith Whitley attended Sandy Hook High School in Kentucky and when he was a teenager he and his friends would pass the time drinking bootleg bourbon and racing their cars down mountain roads at dangerous speeds. Whitley was once in a car whose driver attempted to round a curve at 120 miles per hour. The car wrecked, killing his friend and almost breaking Whitley's neck. In another incident, he drove his car off a 120-foot cliff into a frozen river, escaping with only a broken collar bone.
In 1969, he performed in a musical contest in Ezel, Kentucky, with his brother Dwight on five-string banjo. Ricky Skaggs was also in the contest. Skaggs and Whitley instantly bonded and became close friends.
Whitley and Skaggs, both sixteen years old, were discovered in Ft. Gay, West Virginia, by Ralph Stanley, who was 45 minutes late for a gig due to a flat tire. Stanley opened the door of the club and heard what he thought was the Stanley Brothers playing on a jukebox. However, it was Whitley and Skaggs. The two soon joined Stanley's band. Whitley became lead singer for Stanley in 1974.
Born Jackie Keith Whitley on July 1, 1954 in Ashland, Kentucky and died on May 9, 1989 in Goodlettsville, Tennessee at the age of 34.

Found this quote, the a song of ice and fire wiki
The people of Skagos are generally despised by the rest of the northmen, who derisively call them "Skaggs".

What are your thoughts on musical artist Ricky Skaggs? I have seen he and his band a couple of times. He has aged into a nice chubby daddy. I can imagine him lying face down inviting me to take him!
I could bang him. Definitely with shorter hair. Who am I kidding, I'd definitely bang him with the long hair.

Vince Gill, Alison Krauss, Ricky Skaggs – Go Rest High On That Mountain (Live)
+
I know your life
On earth was troubled
And only you could know the pain
You weren't afraid to face the devil
You were no stranger to the rain
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Oh, how we cried the day you left us
We gathered 'round your grave to grieve
Wish I could see the angels faces
When they hear your sweet voice sing
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Go rest high on that mountain
Son your work on earth is done
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
Love for the Father and the Son

So when ricky skaggs came to my little n.e. town I had to catch the bluegrass legend. Top shelf for sure. Colonial Theater Keene N.H. june 14 2024

Being a fan of your own underground music is so embarrassing
Every hour or so I yell to no one at all,
