The CDBaby site says:-
Phil Williams, a driving force in Washington bluegrass for 50 years, noted that “Stanley drove up to our door in a station wagon with Larry Sparks, guitar and vocals, and Curly Ray Cline, fiddle. He asked us to find him a bass player for the concert, and we recruited Barney Munger, who played bass and banjo with Tall Timber.” Also along for the ride was Ralph’s wife, Jimmi. Williams was a multi-instrumentalist who, along with his fiddling wife Vivian, also performed in Tall Timber. Ralph’s bass player of the last three and a half years, Melvin Goins, was mentioned on the tape as being sick; coincidentally, it was in May of 1969 that Melvin joined his brother Ray to revive the Goins Brothers band.
The Seattle show was on May 27th 1969, but the liner notes to the Goins Brother debut LP 'Bluegrass Hits Old & New' (REM LP-1041) say that he left Ralph on 18th May 1969...
