Richard Sterban.

Here's are some clues as to who he is: He is a singer in one of the oldest, most legendary country music groups. He has a deep rich bass voice. All you have to do is guess which group it is.

Don't worry I'll tell you if you can't guess.

kingajo, nope. The Statler Brothers have disbanded. Great guess though. This group is still around and going strong.

Here's some more clues: Their current tour is called the Red White & Blueblocker Tour. As in Blue Blocker Sunglasses. My signature is a line from one of their songs on their Colors album.

Try again.

Is he the one that turned the corner and became a mountian man? Or was that guy in the Statler brothers? You remember, after about the second album his hair kept getting longer and longer, bigger beard and then he disappeared from the group.

The old country is cool, my dad once met George Jones. They were both drinking in a bar, my dad recognised him and said "Aren't you playing in town tonite" and he replied " I'm supposed to be on right now"
Don't care for the new stuff, pop with a twang.

Rev.Chuck, you're think of William Lee Golden. He is the same group as Richard Sterban. But not the Stalers. William Lee did leave the group for a while then returned. A differant guy filled his spot until his return. Williams beard is now very long and very white & gray.

Richard takes a bike with him and keeps it in the cargo area of the bus, in a hard shell bike case I assume.

Here are some more clues: The tenor's name is Joe Bonsall. Joe is also the author of a popular childrens books series called Molly The Cat. Some of the groups songs include, Leaving Louisiana, Elvira, Bobbie Sue & Thank God for Children. The name of the band is called The Mighty Oaks Band. The quartet are the singers of the group.

If this don't give it away, nothing will.

Oh I missed where you mentioned Richard Sterban. DOH! I only guessed him because of his appeareance. He looks like a cyclist. But I got Oakridge Boys right. I should of had it with the clue, The Mighty Oaks. And there is nothing wrong with Country music. There is something good to be found in all forms of music,you just have to actually listen.For a long time I didn't find anything to like about Hip Hop,now I have. But I grew up on Country and Rock. Oh well everyone is different which is also a good thing.

Nice one, pyze.

Yep, she rides bikes too. Quite a bit actually. I've seen many pictures of her pedaling through the city. It's funny when one of her bruiser bodygaurds is riding next to her.

Here's an interesting Madonna/Guy Ritchie bike story:

Madonna's stolen bicycle inspires Guy
Posted: 16 March 2003

The Sunday Express tells the story behind Guy's new TV show Swag:
The theft of Madonna's bicycle has inspired her husband Guy Ritchie to make a TV crime show set to make the couple millions. Madonna and Guy were furious when her £600 bike was stolen from outside their London home last summer.
But movie director Guy then hit on the idea of making a television show that tempts people to commit crimes and catches them red-handed on hidden cameras.
Now, even before the eight-part series called Swag has been screened in Britain, TV networks in America, France, Germany and Japan are so convinced it will be a ratings winner that they are preparing to buy the format from Guy's production company Ska Films. A source at Channel Five, which will screen Swag from next Sunday, said: 'Guy was fizzing with anger when Madonna's bike was stolen. They didn't get it back, but suddenly he had this idea to turn the tables on petty thieves using television. Bizarrely, the bike theft is now going to make him and Madonna a lot of money.'
