Western Colorado Icons ‘Ralph & Clyde’ Still Making Music

Country music duo Ralph and Clyde, who brought "Country music with a touch of class" to Western Colorado for several decades, are still busy making music.

While Ralph Smith hardly ever plays music anymore, he still makes an effort to perform with his brother Clyde Jorgensen (they are most definitely brothers, don't let the different last names confuse you.) According to Clyde, "Ralph hardly ever plays anymore and I think it's a shame and, of course, I tell him so."

Clyde is remaining musically active, and spends his time between Alberta, Canada, and Arizona. He and singer/songwriter Mark Everett are currently working on a demo for a song which Magruder wrote.

Clyde says he still does a lot of jams in Arizona and his trio "The Arizona Pioneer Trio" do as many bookings as they can. Clyde adds, "Mostly I still enjoy music and love performing for audiences, the ham in me I guess."

Clyde says to his fans in Western Colorado, "If anything else, remember us to your listeners and tell them we were always so very proud to make Grand Junction our home and get to meet so many wonderful folks. Love and blessings."
