   About Sons of Ralph
Sons of Ralph: When I Find Time


The Sons of Ralph (featuring Ralph) is a band that plays music ranging from bluegrass to cajun, to rock and back! The Band's frontman, Ralph Lewis (mandolin, guitar, vocals) started out playing "mountain music" in the 1940's. From there he has had many groups including, The Lewis Brothers, The Carolina Pals, and The Piney Mountain Boys. In 1974 he got a call to join Bill Monroe's Bluegrass Boys, where he stayed for two years. Seeing his own "boys" wish to play music, he quit Monroe's group to pick with his sons. Marty (guitar, dobro, vocals) and Don (fiddle, banjer, guitar, and vocals) still perform with their dad to this day.

Ralph's motto: "IT'S A PARTY EVERY TIME!"

Members of "The Sons of Ralph" are Ralph Lewis, his sons, Martin and Don Lewis, Cousin Steve Moseley, and the "other brother" Ozzie Orengo, Jr.

David Franks: Walkabouts Verse

After you've finished here, you may like to hear this poem sung on myspace... 

Poem 162 of 230, WalkaboutsVerse
(please see my blog): 
TEES TO TYNE: FIRST IMPRESSIONS - SUMMER 2001 

Where traditions are not so rare; 
    Sea, country and works scent the air; 
A multitude of monuments, 
    Planted tubs and patterned pavements. 

The longish pedestrian malls; 
    The remnants of defensive walls; 
Historic buildings are a gauge 
    Of the respect for heritage. 

Wheat, rape and pines in the fields; 
    Estuaries guarded by shields; 
Long sandy beaches and wide scenes; 
    Romantic-ruin go-betweens. 

Rivers in parts licked by trees, 
    Or fringed by boat clubs, wharfs, gantries, 
And crossed by practical delights - 
    Varied spans, forming pleasing sights. 

Fine churches headed at Durham; 
    Football kits ad infinitum; 
Kept castles - one for study; 
    Masonry behind masonry. 

And, with moulding-works out that way, 
It’s somewhere for a longer stay..?

Hey cousins......love  the tunes! You guys are truly inspirational musicians and songwriters.  We're trying to get out there for the Lewis reunion but I'm in a wedding the night B4 so it may be a kinda rough. We're supposed to be playing the Bush Hill Festival sometime that weekend too I think! I hope to see y'all soon! Love y'all and tell Uncle Ralph I said "Hey"!
