When all of the baloney of the modern world is too much, it is a great escape to come listen and watch Lester and Earl and the boys. Simpler times but certainly no better music than this. Thanks so much for sharing!
I'm 64, from Nashville & the Martha White theme song was one of the 1st songs I can remember..I remember Porter Wagner show w/ Dolly Pardon ( as his side kick..LOL ) & Ralph Emery show...I turned out to be a jam band/ jazz/ blues/ fusion ( Allman bro/ Dead head) fan & musician but thank God for Billy Strings & these young bluegrass pickers keeping it real & alive & well🍄
I LOVE watching these shows! I learn from Earl's picking on every one of his breaks. I love that, Lester tells Earl to play in with "Farewell Blues." Actually, Earl kicks off with "Fireball Mail!" Atfer watching the whole solo, Lester and Earl get into the mistake! LOVE that banter!
Lester Flatt on guitar & lead vocals;Earl Scruggs on banjo,guitar & vocals;Curly Seckler on mandolin,vocals;Josh Graves on Dobro & vocals;Paul Warren on fiddle & vocals;Jake Tullock on string bass & vocals.I have this on Dvd.This is excellent traditional bluegrass show from the 50's on TV.
81 yrs young..... no TV at home growing up...went to the neighbors to watch a bit of the old zenith tv.....Louisiana hayride and grand old opera was the entertainment...that and listening to the next door neighbors fuss and argue....Hank Williams along and took over Roy Roger's...Hank Snow, Gene Autry....fell in love with the Banger players.... Grandpa Jones...flat and scruggs not here yet but I got on the bandwagon as soon as I first heard them. Doc Watson, Roy Clark...George Jones...Merle Travis...Merle Haggard.....sad to say but I had to see them go... hello utube...
I can't tell you how much I'm enjoying watching these. The Pat Milk and Martha White commercials just add so much to the proceedings, and the music is absolutely wonderful. Top quality uploads.
Late 50’s or early 60’s kckn d j would play liberty dance & at the end he would say match in the gas tank bo boom. Because of the licks she played at the end
I always enjoy T Tommy when he says "Goooodness gracious, it's good!" Why does there have to be a stinking obnoxious commercial to interrupt that part EVERY time?😡 (Well, almost every time.)
The best of Blues Grass . All time

They seemed like they had fun playing on this show
Great to see these old TV shows available again. What wonderful playing.
Lester: "Earl, let's have the Farewell Blues (C tuning). Earl (in G tuning): plays Fireball Mail.
😂
Fireball Blues 😎
Thanks a lot for uploading these!
Lester Flatt was a great singer I don't know if that's ever been pointed out
Thanks for these! Lots of fun.
That's some great music. Keep up the good work.
❤ Love them & love this!

I need some hot-rise! Too bad they don't make it anymore. I also need some Blue Anthrocite Coal.....(The Shadow Knows)
I bet Mother Maybelle got really tired of playing Wildwood Flower.
Ive met a few country stars, and very surprised they loved playing their big hits for a home audience. Love Mother Maybelle!
