According to Tracy Schwarz this TV show was filmed shortly after the artists on the American Folk & Country Music package tour arrived in Europe, with only an hours rest before they were whisked off to the TV studios. The Stanley's performed How Mountain Girls Can Love & Rank Stranger and also make an appearance at the square dance finale. Chick Stripling and George Shuffler also helped provide backing for Cousin Emmy too. The B&W show was released (briefly) on DVD American Folk & Country Music (Bear Family BVD-20101-AT) 2003.

Ralph had a show at the Storefront Congregation, Louisville Kentucky. Apparently this venue started out as a blues bar near Mid-City Mall called The Shack. After it was bought by Ken & Sheila Pyle they renamed it Roundtable Theatre, an then after renovation as Storefront Congregation. According to Leoweekly "It gained a reputation as a top music venue, hosting acts like Ralph Stanley, but they had trouble getting a liquor license, which compromised its success."

Ralph was billed as appearing at the "Space Coast Bluegrass Festival", Ramada Camp Inn, Cocoa, Florida. Also appearing were: Betty Fisher & the Dixie Bluegrass Band, Jim & Jesse, Sullivan Family, Gospel Travelers, Bluegrass Tarheels, Friends Of Bluegrass, and Lester Canada & A Pair Of Jacks.

The festival was sponsored by the Bahia Shrine Horse Patrol.

Ralph had a booking at VFW Hall, Hillsville, Virginia, along with the Marshall Family.

Ralph played a show at A.P. Carter's Store in Hilton, Virginia. Events started 8pm and tickets cost $2 (children 25c).

This two day session at Gusto studios in Nashville, Tn. resulted in the collaboration album between Jimmy Martin and Ralph Stanley: First Time Together (Gusto GT0077) 1980.

On the 3rd they recorded seven tracks: Roll On Buddy, I'm Coming Back But I Don't Know When, I'm Going Down The Road, Rabbit In The Log, In The Pines, Footprints In The Snow and Sunny Side Of The Mountain. The following day, five more songs were cut: God Gave You To Me, Stone Walls And Steel Bars, I Only Exist, Let Me Walk Lord By Your Side and The Old Crossroad. Gusto released a couple of slightly different versions of the album, although only the 3×CD Poor Rambler set contains all the material from the session, including three previously unreleased cuts.

Ralph had a show at the Kingdom Come Elementary School, Linefork, Kentucky. Also on the bill were Ramblin' Grass, and Kentucky Sage Grass. Proceeds from the show went to Kings Creek Volunteer Fire Dept.

Ralph played a show at the Station Inn, Nashville, Tennessee.

Ralph had a show at the J.J. Kelly High School, Wise, Virginia. Sharing the bill was Bill Monroe. The concert was to raise money for Appalshop in Whitesburg and the WMMT-FM's 'Bluegrass Express' show acted as 'master of ceremonies'. Tickets cost $10 (children $5).

Ralph was billed as appearing on the '4th Annual Bluegrass Music Caribbean Cruise', which spent 7 days travelling from Fort Lauderdale - At Sea - San Juan - St. John/St. Thomas Catalina Island/Casa De Campo - At Sea - Nassau - Fort Lauderdale. Ralph had another booking on 1 Mar however, so I'm not sure if Ralph played on the cruise, or just at Fort Lauderdale on either the start or end date.

Other acts included: Larry Stephenson, Rhonda Vincent, Tim Graves & Cherokee, Valerie Smith & Liberty Pike, Rarely Herd, Dale Ann Bradley, Ramona Church & Carolina Road, Mark Newton, and a 'special' performance by Jesse McReyonlds.
