Featured on the cover is Ralph Stanley, the bluegrass legend who is interviewed within the issue on everything from his first banjo at age 15 to his Grammy win for his work on the 2006 film O Brother, Where Art Thou? Learn about Virginia women with the Midas touch for thoroughbred horse racing, the wild rides at the classic Ocean View theme park and the underground world of women’s roller derby. Also in the issue are recipes for bringing the Tuscan country life back to Virginia, mixed-media designer brooches, rare revolutionary war flags and a Fauquier county lavender farm. From a whimsical Monument Avenue home in Richmond to a high-fashion shoot on a traditional tall ship in the Chesapeake Bay, this issue has it all.
