Our Condolences

Post by Leslie Elliott »

Sorry to hear of Ralph's passing and our condolences to Danny, Guy, Glen and the rest of his family. He was a fine person and in 1966 was one of the first ones to welcome me (Leslie) to Nashville. He was always so kind and greeted everyone with a smile. He will be missed by many. May he rest in peace.

Ralph Davis

Post by Dave A. Burley »

Weldon....I lived in Nashville during the sixties and seventies for several years. Is this the same Ralph Davis that played rhythm guitar with about everyone and his brother Glenn played drums? I knew both Ralph and Glenn well but it has been over thirty years since I have had any contact with them. Thanks in advance and condolences to Ralph's family.
Thanks,
Dave Burley
