-## Notes 
- 
-I think I should start by mentioning the at 87 years old, Ralph Stanley is doing pretty darn well! He stopped picking awhile ago, and his voice is getting a little scratchier with every tour -- just like Dylan! -- but he appears happy to be trooping onward from show to show instead of fading away back home in Haysi Virginia (check that!). His grandson Nathan does a decent job with lead vocals, harmonizing with his papaw on a good fraction of the choruses, and generally handling leadership duty as the public face of the band. Lots of glorification of Ralph (and Carter too) as well as a fair bit of proselytizing on behalf of our dear Lord Jesus Christ, who apparently encourages the entire band in this regard. It's a little much, sometimes, but I suppose that they're sincerely harmless enough. 
- 
-While the picking was generally darn good, there were at least three or four occasions where I thought they hiccuped a little -- some awkward transitions or missed choruses or something. Nothing too embarrassing, but it made me wonder if that wasn't due to Ralph loosening the reins a bit too much. Or maybe being secure enough to be sloppy. I dunno. 
- 
-Anyways, while I'm glad too have seen Ralph one more time, I'm inclined to think that next time I'll check the alternate schedule choices a little more carefully. 
- 
-I'd like to thank the folks posting at [[http://www.setlist.fm/setlist/ralph-stanley-and-the-clinch-mountain-boys/2014/golden-gate-park-san-francisco-ca-2bccbc0e.html|setlist.fm]] for the help correcting and confirming some of my guesses, but no one's contributed anything so far! I suppose I'll just have to check back on them a little later...
