Ralph Blizard & Richie Stearns 'Leather Britches'

Totally other-worldly playing. What interaction on that sublime level.

Our beloved Ralph Blizard. I really miss him! You can recognize his playing anywhere. Do you have any more videos of him?

How Wonderful to hear Ralph & Richie play together!!! Thanks for great vid!!! Been lucky to have heard, met & played w/these two out here in the Pacific NW! Wish they'd come back!

must be around 1982? I think that's when we first met Ralph and brought him to Mt. Airy. He had no idea people were still playing oldtime music! We introduced him to Richie cause we knew they'd appreciate each other's unorthodox approaches.

I remember that blue shirt Ralph wore all the time. He loved the color blue, being a Sagittarian. He was born in l918, died in 2004, just before his birthday.  There should be more videos of him.
