   Having seen him off and on for the past 30 years, I was   
   amazed to see him in   
   such good shape.  He stood for the 1.5 hour performance, and   
   ran the show as   
   MC and sang about every song too.  He only plays clawhammer   
   anymore, but he   
   did that once too.  Having attended a performance about 5-6   
   years ago when   
   Ralph only was able to sing a few lines of Oh Death, I was   
   very happy to see   
   him in such good shape!!"   
      
   I think Dr. Ralph had some bypass surgery within the past   
   couple of years. He's probably feeling better now than before.   
      
   Keep going, Dr. Ralph!
