Ralph Legnini (little Ralph), aka E. Boy, likes cold ravioli for breakfast.

Ralph Carney (big Ralph), after trimming his mutton chops, prefers a pile of ripe grapes for his first full meal of the day.

RL could drive everyone back to NYC from Chicago non-stop after a gig; RC does not attempt to get behind the wheel of a moving motor vehicle.

RC plays sax, clarinet, flute, trumpet. slide guitar, tuba, and most things that use air; RL playes guitar, bass, drums, ukulele, banjo, mandolin and most things that can be picked or strummed.

RC does not watch or partake in organized or disorganized sports; RL trains daily as a 3rd degree black belt in the martial art of Aikido.

RL is just tall enough to be allowed on the bumper cars at the county fair; RC is not football-linebacker-huge, but is not comfortable riding in the middle of the back seat.

RL grew up a street-wise, Italian Catholic school kid in the Bronx, NY; RC went to public high school, with other artists like Chrissie Hynde, in what used to be the car tire capital of the US - Akron, Ohio.

In high school school, RL grew his hair as long as the Marist Brother teachers would allow, and learned Beatle chords on the guitar; RC formed the art-rock cult band, Tin Huey.

RL now resides near Woodstock, NY with his wife and two children; RC lives in the Benal Heights section of San Francisco with his wife and daughter.

RC likes comics, wacky stuff and artsy films; RL likes sports talk radio, Hollywood blockbusters, and doing musical experiments in his recording studio.

And more from a mutual pal:

Older Ralph is smaller Ralph
Smaller Ralph is stronger Ralph
Bigger Ralph is gentler Ralph

Smaller Ralph studies martial art
... so has measured movement and grace
Bigger Ralph used to do Tai Chi
Now he just eats lotsa cheese
... so gesticulates grandly ... and cheesily.

Smaller Ralph can climb under the hood of a car.
Bigger Ralph heard that there's something CALLED the hood of a car.

Smaller Ralph writes down every note of music he plays on a bunch of instruments but is a GEETAR WIZARD
Bigger Ralph plays a TRILLION instruments,
but is best known for Saxophones and duck calls.

Smaller Ralph has a big wide smile,
Is a smart alec, and is really talented and works hard and is proud of it. He likes red sauce and little black tee shirts ... and little hats
Actually much of what smaller Ralph deals with is little
Except his talent, his heart, and his smarty pants mouth.

Bigger Ralph plays all the time, except when he doesn't,
and says words like 'smerkfelber.' He wears big button shirts, big pants, and sometimes a top hat.
Has a huge heart, never wants to hurt anyone,
Always wants to please, and hears FUNNY, FUNNY musical voices in his head.

Both Ralphs love their families, and love working on music ... these guys ARE a lot a like.

KT & Abba

KT is the voluptuous blond bombshell singer; Abba Roland is the skinny, animated singer.

KT likes to take long afternoon naps: Abba never sleeps.

They both drive too fast!

They are both great moms to two young children.

They inspire each other.

Abba does and says a million things a minute; KT likes peace & quiet, and always turns down the sound on the TV.

They both have a "Been there, done that" attitude when they hear about the newest trend.

Abba could figure out how to install wall to wall carpeting for the first time and do it perfectly; KT could do it too, but it would look more like a cool art installation than a floor covering.

KT's idea of a great meal is a large pretty tray of various appetizers; A couple of times a day Abba picks on bird-like portions that never stick to the ribs.

Abba digs Radiohead; KT sobs to sad bluegrass ballads.

KT knows all the words to every disco song; Abba knows correct chord inversions to "Spiders From Mars".

They listen to each other when they talk, and their feet fit into each others shoes.
