- A short clip of Oscar Sullivan from 'CFR Getting Together' series, Oscar was part of the Lonzo & Oscar duo who back in 1947 had that huge hit 'I'm My Own Grandpa' which Oscar performs by himself in this short video clip, this incredible man was nearly 93 years old when he did this performance, all I can say is they don't make them like this anymore!!

I heard this when I was a kid. Iam 80 now.
I'm also 80 and I remember this song very well. I have since tried to sing it and teach it, but it's too much for me.
Today's Country is not as good as it was then. Loved the story and the song. I miss my grandparents. Thank you for sharing this lovely video.
I loved it! Thank you Oscar Sullivan.
A very delightful man.😃
Hello,how are you doing over there today?
I worked with Lonzo and Oscar in the 70's. Really was fun. Very funny show. They had a great routine.
My grandmother loved that song, Thank God and Greyhound You're Gone, and The Birds of Paradise (may the birds of Paradise fly up your nose) that women was a blast to be around 🤗
I see the great Jimmy Capps on lead guitar, He played guitar for my Grandpa Ira and Uncle Charlie Louvin
This is a great video..
Such a great fun performance.
You gotta respect Oscar..
What a treasure..👍
Damn great. Funfriggintastic. Oscar sullivan is a legend. Roy Clarks face was lit right up. That says alot.
Yep I love them. I wish I got to meet them but they passed before I could. My name is Aidan Sullivan and I’m there great nephew. I never got to meet them but It’s great to see how awesome they are.
I listened to this on an old Victrola as a youngster. I,m now 73, and it brings back good mwmories,
It was released when you were ONE !!!
I work in Oscar's band for awhile in the 90s. He was so funny! It was a great experience for me. Thanks Oscar... God bless you.
Great to hear the original Oscar. 92
Lonzo R.I.P.
Hello,how are you doing over there today?
My Dad was friends with Lonzo and Oscar and they performed in our small backyard in Ohio when I was in high school, such a good time. They were the most down to earth people you could ever know !!!!
I discovered this video last night, and it was a hoot ! Plus I was really surprised to see that the drummer was none other than my high school, school mate. And a good friend ever since ( We graduated back in 1970) from Elizabethton High school in northeastern TN, Mr. John Gardner. He has always been a great drummer, and has played in many places in the world. And was even the drummer for the legend Don Williams.
Remember the song from when I was younger. Always loved it.

When I first heard this song it had me doubled over in laughter. Such a cute fellow, that Oscar.
He was teaching when he was in his 90s, I believe. His mom was my grandfather's sister. She was an Acree
he looks amazing for 93!
I met Lonzo and Oscar once,backstage of the opry when it was at "Opryland".I think it was about 1972.Oscar jumped up on a chair to shake my hand as I was a tall teen.
"Grandpa" was the #1 selling song for RCA until Elvis broke it. Can't remember which song it was but the record stood for several years.
I love to hear the older people tell stories. It's a lost art. Sure miss my grandpa:)
I know the feeling, my old driving teacher was about 68 and he used to have me drive around while he’d tell me all these stories about the old days and I tell you what I miss it
The good ole days , If we could get back to the basics of loving God, staying close to our loved ones, caring and Sunday family dinners. All Kids playing out in the yard. You can drive around in the warm weather and not see any kids in their yards playing. The internet , and playing these games on the tv. And we wonder why our world is the way it is ! So sad.
I do too
Ella Hotkey, so true and so sad! I really don't see ever getting back to basics short of our lord returning, and the sooner the better!
Horkey, danng auto correct.
Oscar, still able to belt it out at near 93! Inspirational.
RIP (1919 - 2012. 97 years young!)
God rest his soul
He was 93
Totally incredible MAN EVER....great video too..Thank you so so much..
I have that song on a tape machine. I'm my own grandpa. Lonzo and Oscar.
92 still got a good voice
The question, They don't write em like that anymore? really sums up just how much of a real treasure, these performers of the past really are and were. There will be past creations of talent, so extreme in every category of the arts, that have fallen by the wayside and will fade away for eternity. Let this song become a warning to preserve and teach the past, or you'll never know your history or how you got here. Peace be with you all! Remember, Preserve the arts! Jpol.
The greats in that room were all rapt with interest when Oscar (Rollin Sullivan) was relating his memories. ❤
Some of the best here. Not like today. This was awesome.
What a wonderful man. I was a member of Oscar's Traditional Music Association, and at an award's show in Pennsylvania we discussed aspects of the music business. His performance that night had everybody in stitches. Gonna miss him.

Who could not love this song
That was awesome.............Thanks
Great performance
Lawd look at the talent in that there room lol. If I could have been there I would felt like a biscuit trying to soak up the gravy lol😀.
My mama would have said with all that talent in that room you might as well throw a towel in the ocean

Oscar Sullivan was a total legend, so sharp and talented , thanks for posting this
No problems the saddest part of watching talents like Oscar is many of the people that have been included in these CFR shows have now gone home over 30 now since the original tapings in 1997, Oscar died not that long after this show was taped, and the new entertainers saying they're country singers can't hold a torch to talents like this, CFR has just done a show 'A Tribute To Merle Haggard' another true legend! Marty Haggard - Mama's Hungry Eyes th-cam.com/video/g3Pc8veSYB0/w-d-xo.html
Yes so true , and so sad , I was lucky enough to see Little Jimmy Dickens at the Ryman and he was cookin. Oscar Sullivan was such a great mandolin player and how many 92 year olds could sing 'I'm my own grandpa' , I would say just one Mr Oscar Sullivan. Ive made a documentary about Stringbean for free public viwing on U Tube ...and I'm currently making a documentary about the history of Lonzo(s) and Oscar , best wishes Phil
First Light Sailing Cool send me the link when you're done making the documentary Cousin Jody was also an very important part of the Oscar Lonzo duo as well, his musical acrobatics with his "biscuit board" were legendary to say the least like in this video 'Hole in the Bottom of the Sea' th-cam.com/video/AR5qA-7QTiw/w-d-xo.html
Hi Hey Hey1956 , yes no worries if you subscribe to my First Light Sailing channel you will see the Stringbean doco as well its the last piece ive made, id appreciate any feedback on that one ...anyhow hopefully ill get better as i progress... and i agree no tribute on Lonzo and Oscar would be complete without reference to Cousin Jody , Jody was a real talent as well of course the enigmatic Cousin Luthor , cheers Phil
heyhey1956 I like butter
Now Thats A Hard Song To Learn...Thank You.
One of my maternal great-grandfathers almost did this. His last wife was a sister to a son-in-law of his and an aunt to a daughter-in-law. His daughter-in-law told him he would be his own grandpa if he wasn't more careful about who married. That wife was also a first cousin to another son-in-law and that son-in-law's father (my maternal grandfather and his father, my other maternal great-grandfather). Maybe he was his own grandpa after all, I am glad he didn't have any kids with her.
Not a fan of country, but I do like humor and wow 93 he's amazing. Gotta like that.
What a great person.
I.love.my.on.grandpa..he.sgoing.on.93years.age.
My dad used to sing this little tune.
Hello,how are you doing over there today?
It was a pleasure to meet Mr. Sullivan and his wife in Edmonton, KY in 2010.
They certainly don't make people like this anymore! Oscar died not that long after the taping of this show, Larry Black the man who produced the 'Country Family Reunion' series was so smart in recording all these country super talking and singing together, in excess of 30 of these stars have gone home since the very 1st recording in 1997 so this CFR series was certainly a brainwave to say the least, especially classics like this one Jean Sheppard and Ferlin Huskey - Dear John th-cam.com/video/Mac5tUJ5g4c/w-d-xo.html
He was born not too far from there, in Cork.
I love you Oscar. ❤️
well if I wasn't already confused about my lineage I certainly am now
There is nothing like the oldes they come from the heart
Hello,how are you doing over there today?
Lazlo and Oscar were the original singers. This is 64 years after he originally sang it.
Yes I remember when they would sing it on the opry I tried not to miss it on Saturday night . Love the way that them n Homer and jefro would take a hit song and butcher it up . Through lonzo n Oscar never got to see them in concert .I did get to see Homer n jeffro
Remember this song from 60 years ago.
Saw this guy do this song on cable TV, ONE TIME back in the 1990's. Video came up in my recommended from TH-cam. How the F did the algorithm figure that out?
Song starts at 11:50
Who cares!! Love the stories

@@benniestte4805shut up.
Since I decorate & make own caps & hats...I *L💝VE* the hat/cap he was sporting! (truly) ~Ben: The Alabama gentleman who *CAN NOT* get a date with *ONE LADY* .
The first time I heard the song the flying w wranglers in colorado springs did it...
He's my cousin on my dad's side of the family. He and my dad were both from Edmonton, Kentucky.
emmett fields what a great Man.
Thanks emmett fields

my family all lived in Edmonton and now just down the road in Summershade....I was born in Baron County
Omg my father is 89 and has dementia. However he remembers poems from when he was 5. And of course he always blurts outs this song!!!
Hello,how are you doing over there today?
First time I heard this song was in the 1996 movie "The Stupids"....I thought THAT was the original. Wow, I feel 'stupid' now. I like this version better....funny old guy that Oscar. RIP
He apparently only lived about a year longer after this he was 92 here and he died at 93
I was older in 1947 than he was in this video.
How the fuck did he learn the words to this? And still did it at 92!
I'm surprised at the way they handled hitting the deer. My people would have bled it out, tossed it in the trunk and had ourselves a nice cookout. I have a feeling that this story may have been cleaned up.
As a fairly young person, I first heard this song on 4chan. The person told the story of the widow and her daughter. Did the song come first, or did the 4channer's weird family?
song was 1947
Jump forward to 11:50 for the song.
Hello,how are you doing over there today?
11.51 is when the song starts.
came here from th-cam.com/video/vDrsiGw1FIw/w-d-xo.html . he seems like a cool lad, might look him up after this!
hey need to have doug

Well we need some funny stories right now. For staying at home so much vet's a person doen.
What is Bill's last name?
Anderson. They call him Whisperin Bill Anderson
@@virginiacave9888 I thought so! I am from near the Tulsa area and he is on a weekly show there playing old (really the best) country music. He also tells stories a lot - his stories are great and very entertaining and they often share things that many of haven't ever heard before (history of people and things in country music culture).
He’s one of the best that is for sure!!! I love the old country music ❤️
June 2018 I hit a buck in Stockton Missouri, I bet that deer went ten feet in the air to the right pass the little incline over the bob wire fence into a field, of course my car died along with the deer, I pulled the car in a lane took my license off wrote a note and said give me a call for the title if you want the car and left the keys in the floorboard.
