The Statler Brothers originated in Staunton in 1955 and were made up of local brothers Harold and Don Reid with other members through the years Joe McDorman, Phil Balsley,Lew DeWitt and Jimmy Fortune. They performed locally and nationally and internationally. Truely an early country music super group.
Someone in Stuarts Draft has started an online auction of band memorabilia. With everything from early pressings of some of their records, to furniture from the offices, old Staunton News Leader newspapers, to merchandise with the band's logos. Interesting trip through time. The online listing shows that the auction ends July 11 at 8pm, so you better hurry if you want a piece of history...
