I saw where Harold Reid passed away yesterday after a long battle with kidney failure. That just breaks my heart :( I'm a die hard Statler Brothers fan. I started listening to them in the early 70,s when I was only 16 years old. I finally....just recently, purchased their farewell tour DVD and CD. Harold was a card! Loved his clean, comedy skits!! Fly high Harold, you will be missed by so many!!!! :(
Both my parents were born in '55. But I was born and raised in Staunton... So this brings back many memories (mine and theirs) when I watch this video. The girl in the Pink prom dress was a cheerleader of my mom's (Harold's daughter) when they made this video. She gave us an advanced copy cassette. We wore it out!
My great grandparents lived on Maple Street in Staunton, VA when I was growing up-near where Don and Harold Reid grew up- Lord does this video ever bring back some memories- the old days were the best!!!!
Yes, but on a different street. They even changed out the street signs. The story is a man who lived on this street became quite confused when headed home.
I've listened to the Statler Brothers since I was born. Im now 21 and though I may physically be part of this generation, my music tastes are of a beautiful time now gone. I just listened to Maple Street Memories for the hundredth time and cried my heart out. Words can not describe my deep admiration for you boys nor explain my joy when I hear your songs. As long as I'm alive your songs will live on in my heart!
I've never heard this before but I love it. The statler Brothers were in a leag of their own with their harmoney and ability to sing truly relatable, touching, memory invoking songs. No one now is even remotely close and few could ever come close.
@@marianoleonelszamudhio3647 it was filmed on Allegheny Ave in Staunton VA 24401 (USA). The sign said Maple, but they just switched the street signs (we have a different Maple St in Staunton). The grown teenage daughter with the big pink dress is Harold Reid's youngest daughter Kasey. She was one of my mom's cheerleaders and was actually in high school when this filmed. The older lady (grandma in blue) I believe was Harold and Don's Mom. There were other friends and family in the video, but I was 7 when they filmed it, so I don't know for sure. I just know I've been down that street plenty. Watching this is like going back home because I was born and raised there. I babysat Jimmy's kids a few times, my brother played ball with Jimmy's son & Phil's grandson. Hope this helps.
Don't you wonder how people that never met you can reach into your soul with their music. The gift that these men gave us will bring join for generations. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
I grew up right there on this street. I can still smell the food cookin in the back yard on the 4th of july and getting all excited that morning and all of us running down to see the parade and hanging out in the park with the thousands of people. Sure brings back some really REALLY good times.....
Great memories to last a lifetime. I am a little jealous. I was born in a small town in Southwest Va. but raised in Indianapolis. Had cement under my feet most of my life but longed for those hills. Where neighbors were friends, kids were safe, life was simple & kind.
Beautiful almost beyond words. These are the kind of singers and songs that made country music great. Maple Street Memories is extra special. Millions of miles removed from the rubbish that passes as "country" today. This is a truly haunting song from the wonderful Statler Brothers. High Five from Ireland....!
Reminds me of my high school sweetheart. We dated all senior year and ended up going to different colleges. We chose not to have a long distance relationship. She's married with kids now. I'm happy for her. Sometimes I think what if, but you can't change the past.
I've listened to this song over and over and over and it still saddens me that the two of them didn't end up together. Perhaps because I let my "Maple Street Memory" get away and although I have a wonderful wife, kids and grandkids, I often think of the one I let go.
This brings back all of the happy memories of my life in Eufaula, Alabama. I walked several miles to and from school without any worries. People knew each other and we were always safe. Anyone taking a vacation, please visit Eufaula and be sure to see the tree that owns it self and treasure the plaque that states; "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree". I love the antebellum homes the streets where we played in the huge grass areas that divided the directions of travel. Eufaula is one of the most beautiful cities in the South. I wish I was still there and visiting my school mates.
i grew up in a small town, it wasn't till i was in my second year of High School before we started to lock house and cars. you could ride or walk all over town with no fear. you were not afraid to Hitch hike if you had to or pick someone up. Oh to go back to that time
@Charles Taylor , don't make it political, I'm a liberal and not full of hate. Hate knows no bounds it comes in all colors, religions, nationalities and political beliefs.
This is one of my favorite Statler Brothers songs and video... We went to the street where this video was made several years ago after going to their old school they bought and turned into the Statler Brothers museum .. Greatest singing group ever..
never be another group like these guys.. what talent they had. saw them live once and they put on one hell of a show... today .. there are not many performers of the caliber of these guys.. back in the day
I remember the first time I heard them on the radio. The harmony was amazing. I got to see them live in Greenville, SC. One of the best evenings of my life.
I think this song touches a lot of people because they have a "Maple Street Memory" of one that got away. Someone you thought was "the one" and you would spend the rest of your life with them. But the stars did not align, nor did the fates allow. And you went your separate ways. My wife and I have been together almost twenty years, and we have a great life together. But there is someone from my early life who I occasionally think of and hope that her life has been a good one and that she is happy.
This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Im a 23yr old brazilian dude, and to this day i thank GTA San andreas for having introduced me to this group. became one of my favorite bands ever.
I lived on Greenville Ave. in Staunton, Virginia about 25 years ago. I would come out of The Knitting Corner see Jimmy or Harold and Don. Then on the 4th of July go to to the park for their concert. What great memories I have of those days.
Grew up listening to these boys singing in the living room on tv. Enjoyed the songs. I go back just thinking about those wonderful days. Good days, round family.
I thought I had heard all their songs by now. I started listening to the Statlers when I was around 7 or 8 and I am almost 51 now ,they were my Dads favorite group. We would ride around in his old Chevy step side truck with the Statlers playing on the 8 track tape deck . I knew where and when my favorite songs were starting no matter what channel happened to be playing at the time. I would recognize the line and start clicking to the channel where my song was starting. I love everything they ever sang but I think This bed of Roses is my all time favorite. I love to hear their “ODE TO JOHNNY CASH “ I believe it’s called “PAID BY CASH “ .Nobody can sing like Don I memorized every inflection in his voice on my favorite songs . God rest your souls Harold and Lew , I believe Lew was their tenor before Jimmy. I was seriously devastated to hear about Harold though.
Reminds me of my military days and a girl I used to skate with on Friday and Saturday night in Columbia, SC, She lived on Maple St., she went to Dreher H.S., I was stationed at Bragg but would go to Columbia on weekends, beautiful song brings back great memories, Great fan of the Statlers, greatest quartet I have ever heard.
I was born long after this song I believe, now I'm seventeen years old boy that usually listen to the today's music but somehow no songs ever beat my love to country and folks song and this song is one of them who wont my heart.
My dad and three aunts grew up on a Maple St during the 1920s and 30s in Nebraska. They lived next door to their aunt, uncle, and cousins. If they were still with us I'm sure this song would bring out a lot of memories.
I lived at 111 Maple st. In Dardanelle Arkansas off and on from 1970-1986..theres never been a better place to live!! Thank You Statler Brothers for remembering that for us all!!
rock definitely died on the eighties... what we got now is old bands that still release new albums... there are actually real good New bands nowadays.. but just a few
I was raised in one of the greatest small towns in the country - Jacksonville, Alabama. Many of us consider it our own “Mayberry” and this song reminds me of the wonderful memories of those days.
What a beautiful video. Growing up in the late 50's and early 60's in a small town, I can really relate to this video. It always brings back some wonderful and sad memories that will usually bring a tear or two to my eyes.
I think this song gives us the feel of what life once was when growing up someplace. I'm only 47, but so many memories I have of where I grew up still flow through my mind to this day
I grew up the Statler Brother`s . My Mom, Grandma, listened to them. I still go back to my youth and listen to the Statler Brother`s , what really good memories I have. Love you Mom, Grandma.
I grew up in Everett, MA which back in the 60's was a true small town. I can relate to this song whenever I go home. It's not as small anymore, they may even get a Casino, but the memories remain. Love the Statlers.
@@billiejo3886 I'm guessing folks aren't mentioning him because he's been gone so long.....just not thinking of him either because he's not in this video?
I was born in1989 I love the old songs and old tractors and the way things used to be I always say I was born in the wrong year but sure glad I was born in the 80s
The song brings back memories of living in a quaint, small to medium sized town where the living seemed to be cozy and there was a great deal of fellowship and camaraderie from living in such a community. Many of the homes then had character in spades; inside as well as outside. Compare that to the suburbs of the 1950s to today and you'll see a distinct difference! I can appreciate why watching such a video could trigger an emotional response!
It never ends, the wonderful memories the statler brothers evoke. They remind us of a time when we all were young and happy. Can today's youth ever look back on times like that? Sadly, I think not they are seems so angry and involved in Facebook, what a pity for them and 4 us who realize what they will never have
Johnny, you're most kind. I was speaking metaphorically about there being a Maple St. in every town. I was imagining a one-size-fits all tree, just a street with all kinds of trees that provide comfort. Growing up, mine was a Sycamore tree on Plum Street. Blessings.
Hupf Florence not where I live at. Out in the country. There’s a maple tree, oak tree, pine tree and,etc but you are right, all towns have a Maple Tree Street. A great comeback.
When I was 13,I would spend time with my father at the National Guard Armory in Staunton .It was next to Gypsy Hill Park and golf course.I would roam the park and took lessons from the golf pro at the club.Vividly,I recall putting a quarter in the juke box at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel and playing Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.Afton mountain was close to my daddys heart because he grew up near there at Piney River I believe.Very beautiful scenery.
I didn't marry my Maple Street memories and now I'm glad I didn't because I met a girl from five blocks away and it's now been 63 years. Great song though....
Great to hear. I was engaged to my Maple Street memory but she passed away before we could be married. All these years later, I still think of her fondly.
Brings back so many GREAT memories of my first love "Janice Hodge". I let her get away and it was my fault for the breakup. I still think about her almost every day even though it has been 53 years ago! Went on and married someone else, that marriage lasted only 3 years. Ohh how i wished i could go back and relive my life!
Let me ask you, I think I remember you and the girl "Janice Hodge" that you were crazy about. Did you go to a small church Bethel Baptist in Mills River, NC. I remember you telling me that she moved away, and you were very upset, and you were crying telling me the story. Would love to talk to you
Long time ago (I was young) my father bought me The Statler Brothers' Cassette, I listened to it everyday then. I really miss the old good days. Oh how does time fly away? Will the time the good old time ever fly back?
They were all about memories. I am reading the anthology. Half way through in a year. I have to listen to nearly every after reading about it. Wonderful. Every fan should read it.
They used to come to the Great Frederick Fair in Maryland. I heard them in 1995 not realizing it would be the last time they ever came there. So glad I did.
Redding St in High Point, NC for mine. Her name was Elizabeth, another great Statler Brothers song. My Aunt & Uncle lived not far from where this video was made, Alleghany Ave in Staunton, VA.
I finally married my "Maple St Memory" 28 years later. It's been thirteen years now, and not only is she my wife, she's my best friend and the best thing that ever happened to me...........twice!
GOT TO SEE THE STATLER BROS IN CONCERT IN 1970 DURING THE JOHNNY CASH CONCERT I WENT TO INSTEAD OF MY SR PROM. I STARTED BUYING EVERY ALBUM I COULD ESPICALLY LOVE THER GHOSPL ALBUM
![[MV] A leap of faith...ความเชื่อใจครั้งสุดท้าย (From "Petrichor the series")](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/U1piZH2CNXA/mqdefault.jpg)
Remember when country music was great?
Always in our hearts ❤
Oh Elizabeth makes me cry
I'm a 73 year old tough guy, but can't hold back the tears over this one. It's too personal I guess.
GOD BLESS YOU
Does anyone else cry over this song? Other groups sing songs. The Statlers sang about our lives.
me too
Yes me even now
Plus Ruth meek
Almost every time I hear it.
Yes, I cry
Every boy in every town in country has dreams of their very own Maple Street.
Dan Blather y’all ain’t sh-ting. I do.
I love your screen name. It's perfectly disrespectful.

Really, who didn't have a Maple Street they'd like to go back down
@@marianoleonelzamudio8734 Staunton VA. Their hometown (and mine). It was a big deal when they filmed it.
When you get old all you have left is your memories
So true

Pamela Laughlin Griffin
I am too,Pamela. I was sad when I heard Harold had passed away. At least he didn’t have the corona virus 🦠
I will miss him but glad his suffering is over and he is in the arms of Jesus. Praise the Lord.
Carolyn Dempsey
I’ll miss him too
Sad day
Hello
Statler Brothers delivered warm hearted honest country music and they remain unmatched in quality!
I was born in 57. This song captures small town life.
Both my parents were born in '55. But I was born and raised in Staunton... So this brings back many memories (mine and theirs) when I watch this video. The girl in the Pink prom dress was a cheerleader of my mom's (Harold's daughter) when they made this video. She gave us an advanced copy cassette. We wore it out!

Do you know if this was filmed in Staunton?
Yes, but on a different street. They even changed out the street signs. The story is a man who lived on this street became quite confused when headed home.
I would love to visit Maple street
Chris from England
@@williamsonmunier yes correct!! It was filmed on Allegheny and Landcaster Avenues. Right near Gypsy Hill Park.
I've listened to the Statler Brothers since I was born. Im now 21 and though I may physically be part of this generation, my music tastes are of a beautiful time now gone. I just listened to Maple Street Memories for the hundredth time and cried my heart out. Words can not describe my deep admiration for you boys nor explain my joy when I hear your songs. As long as I'm alive your songs will live on in my heart!
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
@@donaldwelon1525 I'm good thanks, and how are you?

I always LOVED the Statlers They were the best.
I've never heard this before but I love it. The statler Brothers were in a leag of their own with their harmoney and ability to sing truly relatable, touching, memory invoking songs. No one now is even remotely close and few could ever come close.
RIP Harold Ried. Memories today of the soundtrack of my life.
There will never be another group as good as The Statlers! I was a teenager when their show was on TNN and I never missed an episode.
Hola quiero saber una cosa que barrio es donde están ellos y esas personas quienes son

I just turned 18 and this song hits me harder, not a dry eye whenever I listen to this tearjerker. So nostalgic, just isn't like it once was.
Maple Street Memories is a song that has meaning to all of us. I think we have memories,that takes a long time to get over
"...and you took my breath away". One of greatest lines ever in a song.
I've listened to this song over and over and over and it still saddens me that the two of them didn't end up together. Perhaps because I let my "Maple Street Memory" get away and although I have a wonderful wife, kids and grandkids, I often think of the one I let go.
My maple street memory died in 1987
I always thought those two should've been together all through the song.
This brings back all of the happy memories of my life in Eufaula, Alabama. I walked several miles to and from school without any worries. People knew each other and we were always safe. Anyone taking a vacation, please visit Eufaula and be sure to see the tree that owns it self and treasure the plaque that states; "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree".

Hola cómo estás que calle es ? Donde está ubicada
Didn't they make a video of their school when it was turned into the museum. They walked us through it. What is the name of that video
This put a lump n my throat. Those were beautiful days .. thank you Statlers for reminding us of those wonderful days ❤️❤️🙏🙏
never be another group like these guys.. what talent they had. saw them live once and they put on one hell of a show... today .. there are not many performers of the caliber of these guys.. back in the day
My favorite visual is the guy cutting his lawn. Like the hat. Really like the antique mower. LOVE THOSE BLACK SOCKS!
Mine is the cute kid asleep with teddy bear!! (it's me btw...not a pedo!)
I remember the first time I heard them on the radio. The harmony was amazing. I got to see them live in Greenville, SC. One of the best evenings of my life.
Your first love a hard thing to forget .
Sorry for your loss hope all is we'll now
That's the truth. Shes gone now but it lasted until Jr. High
It's the first time i hear this song and it brings me to tears. Very beautyfull!
Start my day by crying my eyes out! Statlers touch that chord in my heart that nobody else can!
Beautiful song. Very touching.
The harmony of these 4 are terrific
I think this song touches a lot of people because they have a "Maple Street Memory" of one that got away. Someone you thought was "the one" and you would spend the rest of your life with them. But the stars did not align, nor did the fates allow. And you went your separate ways. My wife and I have been together almost twenty years, and we have a great life together. But there is someone from my early life who I occasionally think of and hope that her life has been a good one and that she is happy.
What do you admire most about the Statler brothers
This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Im a 23yr old brazilian dude, and to this day i thank GTA San andreas for having introduced me to this group. became one of my favorite bands ever.
I loved the Statler Brothers 💕 I still listen .. real country never dies.
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
I still listen also!!! They are my FAVORITE group🥰! There will never ever be an other group that will capture my heart!😍

I will never get over Harold Reid's death. He was a hero! It gets me everytime I hear Don's voice break on you took my breath away!
I can't believe I heard this song for the first time today. Pure Statler. Grrsti .
Rest In Peace Harold Reid you earned it.There are a lot of people that will miss you. Signed : T.BRENNAN

Still listening , April 27. 2022...never gets old.
What a sweet video and song! My Statlers will always be #1!
Well here Iam again . Her memory woke me up ! She's gone on to Heaven . But very much still alive in my mind !
Can’t believe I’ve never heard this song, these guys are forever at the top of my list ❤️
Hola.como estas que calles de eeuu son
One of my favorites! But was hard to find.
Love song for sure sent it mom 85 yrs old she loved it brought so memories for her❤
I was raised in one of the greatest small towns in the country - Jacksonville, Alabama. Many of us consider it our own “Mayberry” and this song reminds me of the wonderful memories of those days.

i remember those days ! back then neighbors would help each other, now all they want to do is fight with each other !
+Lloyd Dailey I'm sure nit everyone does but 1 thing that's true a lit people today don't know their neighbors.
or shoot each other

Growing up in small town USA. Wonderful.
Back when music was good.
Where has time gone
Great song and the marvelous Statler Brothers!
I love this son, but it breaks my heart at the same time!
What do you admire most about the Statler brothers
I didn't live back then, but I was around in the late 60s. Sure was a simpler time.
I was born in1989 I love the old songs and old tractors and the way things used to be I always say I was born in the wrong year but sure glad I was born in the 80s
The Statler's are the number one group in my opinion
I can't understand how such a wonderful song and video has such a low view count.
This is one of my favorites of the Statler Brothers. I 💕 everything they sing.
this is my favorite video of all
This one got me from the get-go. I grew up on Maple Street. A little town in Maryland just outside of D.C.
ffirst time i have heard this, tears in both eyes

Don't you know there's a Maple Street in every town? : )
Hupf Florence not where I live at. Out in the country. There’s a maple tree, oak tree, pine tree and,etc but you are right, all towns have a Maple Tree Street. A great comeback.
what a GREAT VIDEO. ALL TIME CLASSIC. I LOVE YHE STATS.
The young lady in the prom dress is Kasey Reid, daughter of Harold (bass singer) who is in the striped white yellow and blue shirt in the video.
When I was 13,I would spend time with my father at the National Guard Armory in Staunton .It was next to Gypsy Hill Park and golf course.I would roam the park and took lessons from the golf pro at the club.Vividly,I recall putting a quarter in the juke box at the Stonewall Jackson Hotel and playing Ring of Fire by Johnny Cash.Afton mountain was close to my daddys heart because he grew up near there at Piney River I believe.Very beautiful scenery.
I miss you guys.
THIS SONG TAKE ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD, THAT WAY I LOVE THIS SONG.
Hey dear how are you doing over there 😘 ?
I married my Maple Street memory, it has now been fifty years for us.
***** that is nice to hear
Congratulations
I didn't marry my Maple Street memories and now I'm glad I didn't because I met a girl from five blocks away and it's now been 63 years. Great song though....
Great to hear. I was engaged to my Maple Street memory but she passed away before we could be married. All these years later, I still think of her fondly.
Great times and a great song/video. Thanks Statler Brothers ....
Brings back so many GREAT memories of my first love "Janice Hodge". I let her get away and it was my fault for the breakup. I still think about her almost every day even though it has been 53 years ago! Went on and married someone else, that marriage lasted only 3 years. Ohh how i wished i could go back and relive my life!
Let me ask you, I think I remember you and the girl "Janice Hodge" that you were crazy about. Did you go to a small church Bethel Baptist in Mills River, NC. I remember you telling me that she moved away, and you were very upset, and you were crying telling me the story. Would love to talk to you
The before and after of the street alone proves the '50s at least looked better.
I love music videos like this. I wish they still made them
Wonderful,,song, by a wonderful group
I know I've been listening to for over 30 years
So sorry to hear about this loss. I've been a big fan for decades and have many albums.
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
Long time ago (I was young) my father bought me The Statler Brothers' Cassette, I listened to it everyday then. I really miss the old good days. Oh how does time fly away? Will the time the good old time ever fly back?
They were all about memories. I am reading the anthology. Half way through in a year. I have to listen to nearly every after reading about it. Wonderful. Every fan should read it.
This is one of my favourites! I never got to see them in concert though.
Best in country by far! Love you all

Live they were all you hoped thy'd be. Consummate entertainers. Saw them twice.
They used to come to the Great Frederick Fair in Maryland. I heard them in 1995 not realizing it would be the last time they ever came there. So glad I did.
We all had a "Maple Street" to remember!
My"Maple Street" was Wilmore Drive in Charlotte, N.C. Good, happy memories
Redding St in High Point, NC for mine. Her name was Elizabeth, another great Statler Brothers song. My Aunt & Uncle lived not far from where this video was made, Alleghany Ave in Staunton, VA.
I finally married my "Maple St Memory" 28 years later. It's been thirteen years now, and not only is she my wife, she's my best friend and the best thing that ever happened to me...........twice!
Not all... My memories involve no street, just the fun times I had growing up in the Australian outback with only myself for company...
Mine was brachport New York still love that village
Just love so much of the time I miss
