I got the honor of meeting and talking to Ralph and his wife for about 20 minutes one time before a show here in Knoxville. I even got him to sign a Banjo head for me. His wife Jimmi was abit younger than him. She put me in the mind of Peg Bundy from married with children! <g> The loss of a Great musician imo,... his political side, not so much. RIP Ralph

Lot's of folks didn't (don't) agree with Woodie Guthrie's or Pete Seeger's political sides. Doesn't diminish the importance of their music.

In hind site, it's painfully obvious that Ralphs good intentions were sorely misguided. Ralphs grandson, Nathan Stanley, endorsed the Republican candidate.
