I was there that night too! Thanks for posting this clip. Great show! I loved the joke that Little Roy told about the mule. "Is that mule for sale?" lol
Although I marvel at the technical expertise and musical excellence of todays Bluegrass music, I miss the zany antics and pure entertainment of yesterdays groups. The retirement of the Lewis Family saddens me . Another era gone by the wayside. So yea, it was corny, but great fun!!!

Faster doesn't mean better. The feeling is gone.
I own a Martin D35 that Little Roy played. The pick guard is a mess. :-)

Poor Polly and Janice. When Roy gets to this point in the set they may as well go and sit and relax somewhere. Or maybe hide his gum.
who's the other picker?
His nephew Lewis Phillips another monster player from the Georgia hill country
