My Dad used to listen to the Opry on his short wave radio and my hippie mom had the Nitty Gritty album so there's no way I dont realize how fine this is
I have traveled many a mile, learned much, seen much, endulged in folly and wisdom over many decades, but this music and these faces are in my heart and in my memory. They will be with me until the end of my short, finite existence.
Earl and Grandpa frequently jammed together. Same with Earl and Stringbean. There are videos of Stringbean playing his banjo with Earl and the Foggy Mountain Boys on the Flatt & Scruggs TV shows.
@@rapman5791 Garth always takes his hat off & cries. That doesn't seem preplanned at all, He's really country, He & Sandy have been married for 28 years.
douglasd53 it’s from the, “Will the Circle Be Unbroken” album. Yes, it’s Jimmy singing lead but this is Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. The whole album was just a big collaboration with a lot of artists that aren’t around anymore. Every song on the album is pure gold
The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band members were playing some of the instruments, including the banjo, colloquially known as the "banjer." The electric fiddle was played by Vassar Clements, with John McEuen of the NGDB on banjo, Les Thompson on mandolin, and Roy "Junior" Huskey on bass. Jimmy Martin played acoustic guitar (aka "flat top guitar) and sang lead.
@@JessCorey Thank you for the additional information. I did not know that John Hartford played on this record. At the beginning of the first song you can hear one of the musicians admonish one of the banjo players: "Pick your banjer more solid, John. You've been pickin' one for 15 years, ain't ya?" Maybe that was Earl Scruggs? I LOVE this album!

And this song is in the PBS Documentary Country Music by Ken Burns.
Thank you for putting this wonderful video together! I could dance to this song 10 times back to back!
Back then, there were the big three: The Grand Ole Opry on WSM, The Louisana Hayride on KWHK, and the Wheeling Jamboree on WWVA.
GRAND OLE OPRY ON SATURDAY NITE!!.....NEAR 4O ACTS PER NITE...ON SATURDAY NITE....CAN YOU IMAGINE.....
Jimmy Martin backed by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Simply fantastic!

You forgot to mention the great Jimmy Martin singing who made this song famous!
Jimmy Martin, King of Bluegrass, sings this, the Dirt Band does a great job backing him up.
Can anyone else imagine the epicness if earl Scruggs jammed with grandpa Jones, and string bean?
They may have jammed together.
@@navblue20 String was Murdered in the early 70's but I have no doubt they may have crossed paths....

Thanks too who post this song it's been years I did not hear that song thanks again
The Grand Ole Opry's first show was March 18, 1987.
Remember when country wasn't constant BS.
It is is what sells. And Nashville to quote Marty Stuart has always been a business town.
my goodness ive got goose bumps
One of my all time favorite songs -- great job on the video. That took some work, thanks!
Absolutely amazing - thanks for making that!
Great job, Dakota!!
Love this !!!
Nice add definitely worth the time
Fabulous.
Great work there man. Thanks for the upload.

I much prefer Jimmy's original 1956 version with Earl Taylor doing the high tenor but this video is great!!!!!!!
my dad used to sing this song
When Country wasn’t Bull Shit pop music
That'll make you slap your granny!!!!!
This song was written by Garth Brooks & Reba Macintyre. Garth cried when he sang it to prove he's not a phoney.
Garth Brooks is no phony.
However Frank “Hylo” Brown was the writer of this particular ditty. 😉

Garth can cry on cue 😢😢
& Garth Brooks who's only a phony some of the time.
Who is singing lead on this?
Jimmy Martin
walter mullins THANKS!!
Whomever hit the thumb down button deserves the rope.
Yeah, that's NOT the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, except maybe on some of the instruments. That's Jimmy Martin. He was not part of the Dirt Band.

@@DakotaMontgomery You are correct: I have the album.
@@LikableMarketing The Banjo was played by John Hartford, Earl Scruggs and one of the NGDB members on this recording...
