Ralph 2nd, God bless you and keep close to the hills. I thoroughly enjoyed the Gather bluegrass album and Rank Strangers. That is some of the best bluegrass you will ever find !!!

I really enjoy this talent and a nice place to warm the heart. SW Virginia is such a treasure!

Thanks, Ralph! A nice treat to hear you open up with 2 of my favorite songs by you that you perform!

Love the video, It's sad to know that the museum closed. My Dad was born and raised in Dante, VA near Nora. My Aunt Thelma was a Stanley, I remember growing up all the family would get together down at Dante Mountain and play music and visit. Now all these years later take my yearly Pastoral sabbatical on the family homestead. Clinch mountains will always be a part of my life.

Saw you and your Dad and the rest of the legendary Clinch Mountain Boys at Beanblossom. A day I can never forget as Bill Monroe was doing all the introductions and played too of course. But I remember you playing and being very impressive. I have the old video-tape somewhere.

I am a HUGE fan of 2! Discovered 2 at a local library CD check out in 2002. Bought my first 2 CD in '04. In process of building up my CD collection of 2. I am a California native but his music is real and he has amazing talent.
