here we have a snippet from a 23 minute documentary about Ralph's festival in or near coeburn, va. The singer, Elder Frank Newsome, really gave it hell on that tune. This is from the festival in '02. Look for more snippets soon.

Lord how I so loved this.. That was the song my nephew requested for his funeral. This has made my day, I so love the Old Regular Babtist. Mr. Newsome did a wondeful job with this song. Always have enjoyed Ralph Stanleys music.
