This is Ron Blackwood, owner, MC/Baritone for the Blackwood Quartet, featured on “The Way It Used To Be.” This project was recorded in 2005, and features Steve Warren, (Tenor and Piano), R.W. Blackwood, Jr. (Lead), Ron Blackwood, (Baritone), and two bass singers were recorded: Nic Val (formerly of the Statesmen) and Paul Hyde. The CD was never released commercially. It was just a dream of mine to do produce a good recording featuring the songs Grandma and Grandpa sang… the way they liked them! There are no overdubs of other groups. This is was a “from scratch” project. I sincerely hope everyone enjoys it. I truly appreciate the review and all you have done! Bless you. Come see us in Pigeon Forge! You’ll love hearing our newest additions: Rick Fair and John Rulapaugh!

Yes, this is quite some time before John and Rick. I have followed the Blackwood Organizations for years. They always put together good groups. Not sure if they can’t get back into the main stream, or don’t want to get back into the main stream.

So this was recorded before John Rulapaugh and Rick Fair joined the group?
