With Dr. Ralph on 'Down From The Mountain' duties, Ralph II led the CMBs at a show at Monroe Music's Little Opry, Tompkinsville, Kentucky.

Ralph appeared at the International Folk Alliance Conference in Nashville, Tennessee. At the event he was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Folk Alliance, and took part in a interview/question and answer session which can be heard online (part one and part two).

Towards the end of the interview Ralph invited the crowd to see him perform 'tonight' on the Grand Ole Opry, so I presume the CMBs may have played at the conference on the Friday (7 Feb) and then at the Opry on Saturday (8 Feb). The conference itself ran from 5-8 Feb.
