I first saw Freebo with a very young Bonnie Raitt at the 1970 Philly Folk Fest. Saw Deke at the Rockbilly Rumble in Wilmington, DE. Never saw Chris live, but I did see one of his brothers at the Main Point.
It's early Sunday morning here in Oz and what a great way to start the day . Great delivery of a great song ! Thanks once again for making this possible Norm !
That was really nice. I just saw Deke’s post on a cache of Mosrite history he has retrieved from TX yesterday. Some wonderful info in there. Guitars on loan to Jimmy Bryant, James Burton, and Clarence White, among other notables. A contract for someone named Glen Campbell.. He and Chris are super knowledgeable and talented musicians, and they are keeping our country rock-a-billy and Western swing roots alive.
An old-timey slice of where I was in July 1995, working to purchase my own first electric guitar and taking a puff on a co-worker's cigarette. There and then, I decided that smoking, drinking and all other drugs were off the table for me.
That Chris Scruggs guy is a damn fine guitar player. 🤩 I figure everyone knows Deke by now, he's great. Add Freebo into the mix and you've got a killer trio. I only wish I could have been in the room when these guys were playing. It must have been amazing.
#NRGFREEBOOK . Chris is always a musical. delight and Deke has put a musical smilei in my ears for decades. Norm I enjoy seeing and hearing great vintage guitars, I really like Michael's playing. Please keep them coming. Thanks!
Oh heck yeah, that was great. Norm you need to have more jams like this on a weekly basis man. We’d definitely tune in for these. Just throw some killer musicians in the living room and just jam for a few songs. We love it. You know everyone in the business, I mean they all show up to get medium rare guitars lol. Cool video.
Haven’t heard that song in ages. I think the Scruggs family are the first original musicians of America, even their critters play music, their Holstein invented the Cowbell 😂
Chris Scruggs is a humble monster of a musician, watch out!
Have you seen him singing "Blue Moon of Kentucky" with Marty Stuart? Not only a great musician, but he has a major set of pipes.
Oh yea. Major set of pipes.@@artheriford
He's just a total legend .
This Chris Scruggs fella is a fantastic player... nicely done, guys !
He's also a walking Encyclopedia of Country and Bluegrass facts/history 👌
Earl's grandson.
on virtually every instrument.
Great Combo. Kenny Vaughan says that Chris is the best Guitar Player in the Fabulous Superlatives. High Praise!
Right? Kenny would know.
Kenny talking about the bass player in the band he plays guitar in ,,
says it all ,,
Norm is right. Marty Stuart and his Fabulous Superlatives are the best live act I’ve ever seen. By a mile.
They are damn good. Just saw them for the first time this past weekend. Wow!
Medium rare !!! Great line and wonderful playing..
2 of my favorite guitarists! And Freebo holding it down!
Deke is so underrated!
Norm's medium rare guitars.
Cookin', smokin'
Lot of talent in the room. That was awesome.
Chris Scruggs is a beast! Best player in any room that also plays bass, drums, and steel.
⚓️ Thanks Jen 🎶 Deke 😎 Chris 🌈 Freebo ♦️ NORM!!! 🎸
Scruggs is just terrific ! Nice Converse All Stars too!!!

HAVEN’T SEEN DEKE IN 30 YEARS
Fantastic music
Best 5 minutes I've spent on the internet in awhile. Great job all around.
Nice to see Deke here. Great guy!
absolutely brilliant
They remind me of “Commander Cody and His Lost Planet Airmen” back in the early 70s SF Bay Area.
Hot.Rod.Lincoln.
@@tjinnertube Bill Kirchen!
Texas Swing. My daddy said “ Son you’ll drive me to drinking if you don’t …. Hot Smoke & Sassafras.
Brilliant!!! (and then some)
Great! I always liked the Commander Cody rendition.
These are 3 talent musicians!!!!
great stuff. Chris Scruggs kills.
Great job on a classic song. Now I want to go listen to some Commander Cody
Wow, Commander Cody! Takes me back to "those" days.
An old-timey slice of where I was in July 1995, working to purchase my own first electric guitar and taking a puff on a co-worker's cigarette. There and then, I decided that smoking, drinking and all other drugs were off the table for me.

Love this swinging sizzler! 🎉
#nrgfreebook, a swinging good time! Thanks NRG.
This trio cooks!
Lovely
So cool!
Norm thanks for all your videos. I will turn 73 years young on Monday, so I am slowly catching up to you. George in Montana
That was GREAT!!!
Very good !!!
Awesome guys!
Great groove, boys! 👍🏻
Great performance. Nice to see Norm is looking trim and healthy.

that was great!
Whew! Great pickin' guys!
"I'm just used,," "Can I get one that's just medium rare?" Stop it, stop it, you're killing me! Great stuff thanks fellas!

Cool video.
Good to see Chris play lead. In a way, he is held back by playing bass with Marty. Love his steel guitar playing.
Fabulous stuff, gents. 😺👍
Excellent
Tex Williams & Merle Travis. I love Doc Watson's version of this tune.. You guys did it justice nice work!
When music was music. You guys speak my language.
Haven’t heard that song in ages. I think the Scruggs family are the first original musicians of America, even their critters play music, their Holstein invented the Cowbell 😂
Chris Scruggs ❤
cool!
Could someone tell me the exact model of the Gibson on the left? 🤟🏼
Damn that Gibson sound good🤠🔥
Django lives! 😊
Rare, medium rare, don't matter, Chris...cuz regardless, your playing will be WELL DONE!
Medium Rare!!! Sounds like my budget!
Merle Travis and Tex Williams live on! These dudes are the real deal
Commander Cody LIVES!!! Somebody send this to Bill Kirchen Chris Scruggs and Bill K on the same stage would be epic
Does anyone know what genre of music this falls into? Im not a big music guy, but this really caught my attention! Thank you!
texas swing
I always thought Ray Benson and asleep at the wheel wrote that song...... still it's Texas swing!!!!!!!
Chris master musician stand up bass, electric bass, guitar, steel guitar etc..
etc to include spectacular vocal prowess as well as historian.
With Marty & FS the public is only seeing a very small portion of Chris's talent.@@tjinnertube
tex Williams is smiling down from heaven .probably smoking a cigarette. lol ! 😂
Merle Travis would be proud!
Marty and crew, closest ensemble to the Byrds today, ‘specially when Jim sits in.
Scruggs makes that 400 just sing!
#NRG Freebook that's what I'm talking about, hotter than southern fried chicken!!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻✌❤😎
Fabulous Superlative what else is there to say?
Wow!! Now, I'll never do that song again.
Can't help but seeing a stovetop hat on the middle dude in the beginning
I saw the same thing
Chris Scruggs is a bad man.
Tobacco companies should take up this song, however they are not allowed to advertise.
This song is sarcasm, not encouragement.
Didn’t recognize Freebo without that head of hair
Sounds like boy named sue
Chris was genetically engineered to do this.
walk a mile for a Camel great picking really.
Deke!!! I'm smoking that cig but it ain't tobacco son. Hahaha hahaha. Keep on pickin' and grinnin'.
