"Folks, I've traveled all around this country and I've seen a lot of talent. Now, none of them that I've seen have as much of it as these two girls here. Now, y'all might have already known, I didn't make it in this business on my own. I did have a little help. Ralph Stanley took me under his wing like I'm gonna do for these two girls. They have just got it! They are gonna make it in this business one day. And when I think someone is this good, I'm gonna put them on stage with me!" - James King, Rounder Recording Artist
