   How Mountain Girls Can Love (Ralph II on vocals)   * Oh yes.  Treat 'em right, never wrong.  I'm SO glad you gave us the setlist.  You're the best!   He also said that Ralph II’s wife is due to give birth to Ralph Stanley III on Wednesday.   *What a wonderful birthday gift that would be for me. lol.  Dec.14th is a good day. Congrats to the family on both great-grandbaby, grandbaby and baby III for II.    He said that Steve Sparkman took first prize at a fiddler's contest, but they made him give it back.    * gasp.  Yay! I'm tickled to death that his part was not de-emphasized & dispensed of.  Cool.   I would have loved to hear Steve also and "Carrying On" is the sweetest monument there is today.  Of course I'm also always appreciative of James's talent and his angelic watchful eye over Ralph.  God bless them all.   Jeff Root Fairfax, Virginia   * Jeff, that was *great* to hear your writings on the concert.  Bravo my friend.  You made me feel like I was there. That's positive typing. (claps)  Thanks so much. You're a rare one. Renee'
