I live in Kentucky, where the Osborne brothers are from. Sonny , on banjo is the brother to Bobby, the singer and playing the Mandolin. Bobby is STILL playing concerts, he did one in Kentucky just recently. as of 2021. Bobby is a Korean war veteran. He was wounded in action and received the purple heart.

Bobby was a Korean War veteran and he was shot in the head in Korea? 🤔 How.... Why..... And unless it was suicide? Thats one hell of a coincidence and a messed up irony 😑

To:The Osborne family I'm so sorry for the loss of Bobby and,Sonny I send the Osborne family all of my prayer's 🙏 God bless from Jason,Loveless from Arizona

Lost Bobby today. Such an amazing voice!

They are playing together again. RIP Bobby and Sonny

When I was a young teenager, I got to meet Sonny, Bobby and their Father Robert. It was a thrill to me for sure. Me and my family went to a lot of bluegrass festivals back then and I got to see Sonny and Bobby often. I was raised on good old bluegrass music and love it still today. The Osborne Brothers were our favorites. Sonny on the 5 string and Bobby on the mandolin were the best. I sure do miss them.

I saw them in person twice, once at the Green County, Ohio fair grounds in the early 70s. Then at thr Crystal Pistle in Fairborn, Ohio around 75 or 76. Ivwas born in western Kentucky close to where Bill Monroe and the Everly Brothers wete from. Ruby is my favorite bluegrass song and nobody can do it like the Osborne Brothers.

Hello there my friend in the UK, I am from Kentucky. The Osborne brothers were also from Kentucky. I live not far from where they grew up. I have been all over that area, I'm from Hazard, Ky. I grew up listening to them. They were funny as well. I feel they were the very best and that is saying something considering how many great players there have been. Kentucky is known as the Bluegrass state. Our motto. The birth of Bluegrass by Bill Monroe . We also do have actual bluegrass.. looks greenish blue.

From Harlan, Ky. These guys were my heroes. Got to see Bobby couple of years ago at the Grand Ole Oprey. Definitely going to be missed. Now they get to play for Jesus.

Rest in love Sonny Osborne. Thank you for paving the way and pushing the boundary of banjo picking for the new generation. With so much gratitude and love your playing echoes through eternity. 🙏🏼🙌🏻♥️💫

I grew up with a dad who played bluegrass on his Martin guitar. My childhood is filled with summertime memories of weekend music gatherings at our house, we would have 5 or 6 musicians and their families over for bbq, bluegrass, hand cranked homemade ice cream, and homemade wine. I accompanied my dad to bluegrass festivals all over Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky. I had the privilege of witnessing some of the all time greatest blue grass guys ever. Bill Monroe, Bobby and Sonny Osborne, Jimmy Martin and Ralph Stanley just to name a few. When I hear good bluegrass, it takes me back to those childhood memories-it was good times when life was much simpler.

Oh how I love that high lonesome sound! It's missing from much of modern Bluegrass.

Love this. I hope Sonny and Bobby are singing together again in heaven.

This video is a Bluegrass Masterpiece! The Best players in Bluegrass! RIP Sonny

Sonny looked like he was having a super fun, playful time on stage. Even made Bobby Laugh lol

Oh mercy, how I miss seeing them at festivals. One of my top three favorite bands. Love love LOVE those Osbornes!

I looked this up, this was from Feb or March of 1980 . wow I was still in high school. Bobby who is singing was wounded in action in the Korean war and received the purple heart. As of 2020 he is still playing today with his band. Sonny the banjo player who is his brother had a stroke a few years ago and can't play anymore sadly. Both brothers are from Hyden , KENTUCKY, in the mountains in the south east part of Kentucky.

Mind blowing banjo break by Sonny - best live bluegrass performance of all time!

Wow 😮! Nobody sings like Bobby! He brings it every performance! Mix that with superstar 🪕 player Sonny .l was sad to hear that Bobby passed away last week. Korea war veteran. Great human being ❤rest in peace my hero. 😢

I will miss Sonny forever.

Sonny Damn Osborne: The most inventive Scruggs style banjo player ever! He introduced jazz chords, distant melodies that worked over regular chords, and he had the most expressive right hand in the business. It was a sad day the day he retired, but I respect him for it. If you’re having orthopedic problems and it’s causing you a lot of pain, and you’ve had a hell of a career like he has? It’s time to enjoy life.....I hope you are doing so, Sonny. You single-handedly made me rethink Scruggs style banjo. Your friend, Buddy

it takes a hillbilly to love this music. guilty as charged. I love this music they actually seem to be having fun while they sing. I have photos from the 1960s that I found in my mom's house after she passed. they are my most prized possession. grew up in north va manassas. my parents drug me around to festivals and I never cared for it until I grew older. got to see old ralph Stanley before he died-and used to live right down the road from jimmy martin. yeah I lived I Nashville for 10 years. maybe take a looksy at sierra hull-she is like Alison krauss when she was just a teen. going to see her when she comes to florida where I live now. she plays guitar and mandolin-and sings quite well.

Yes Sonny had licks and plenty of them. But he used that banjo as a rhythm instrument too. Served a similar function as a drummer.
