I just discovered this a few weeks ago, and have been listening to it non-stop. Easily one of my favorites of all time. My grandfather was a huge bluegrass and banjo music fan, I wish he were still here so I could enjoy it with him!
Mine, too in fact today is 2 years and a day since my family lost him (my grandfather) he loved the Clancy Brothers and Tommy Makem, Flatt and Scruggs, and phenomenal Washington DC Bluegrass Group called the Seldom Scene check them out they were great. Oh, and my Grandfather ACTUALLY PLAYED the Banjo for many years until he lost control of his shoulder and fingers on that side of his body.
Love this stuff and I'm from Sydney. I'm getting' old, can anyone tell me about the banning of other versions of this song. Serious question. I've noticed that some other things seem to be disappearing from youtube and I want to make sure that my memory of them is not just part of my fevered imagination... .

I live in the Southern Appalachians. Our culture is being erased. We have exactly *ZERO* "institutional power" and yet all the sins of this country both past and present are heaped upon our backs. For some reason a bunch of poor rural whites who want for nothing other than to be left alone and in peace are somehow responsible for all of America's problems both past and present. It's extremely frustrating.
Ernie Newton - at the time the premier bass player in Nashville and who played on literally hundreds of sessions in the late 40’s through to the mid 1950’s backing virtually every top Country and bluegrass name there was.👍
@@Elainiosity it’s a device developed by the bass player - Ernie Newton- who used it in conjunction with a brush to give the effect of a snare drum. At the time , drums were not allowed on stage at the Opry so Newton cleverly got round the ban in this way.

Ole Grandpa Jones could tear it up!
Hands down his best performance better than any of his rhinestone contemporaries!
The boots that GrandPa wore , were made before the Civil War / War between the States !
Please sir. The War Of Northern Aggression.

The democraps are trying to ban anything that doesn't fit their narrative, AKA anything relating to white people or the south.

"Hey Grandpa....What's for supper?"
Cornbread, turnip greens, candy yams, and butter beans. BlackBerry cobbler, and things rare. The more to eat the more to spare!!
I am not 100% posotive, but I think that was Granspa's wife playing the guitar during this number.
It was, Ramona.
"Cool cat"
I injiy the humor during this.
proud
Damn Right!
A very young Marshall Jones. Awesome.
Bravo
Grandpa, what's for supper?
Love it
My friend Stacy!!!
The pride of Niagra Kentucky!
That joke was from Eddie Cantor in his movie Kid Millions.
Great bass player too.
All time Nashville great Ernie Newton .
That’s pro golfer Ernie Newton on bass..
HE WAS A GOOD MAN
Who is that bass player, that dude is having so much fun?
Ernie Newton - at the time the premier bass player in Nashville and who played on literally hundreds of sessions in the late 40’s through to the mid 1950’s backing virtually every top Country and bluegrass name there was.👍
Why does the bass have that light colored plate thing on the body? Anybody know what it is?
It's Possibly a Scratch Plate like a guitar pick guard.
Judging by the thickness, it may very well be some kind of padding to save dude’s finger tips from his aggressive attack. He’s a badass either way.

Avalon, guitar 0:53
1:43 song starts
Skoo?
What was this show?
I believe this is Grand Ole Opry!
I believe this is from Ernest Tubb's Midnight Jamboree, but I can't find a television reference for it, so that might just be the radio version.
