Honoring the memory of Carlton Haney who promoted the very first multi-day Bluegrass music festival in September 1965. This video premiered at the 40th Anniversary event in September 2005.
"The original Fincastle event was partly a celebration of the music and the artists who played it, and partly an example of the missionary zeal and desire to educate people about the history of bluegrass music - and Bill Monroe’s central role in that story - that Carlton Haney took on as his personal crusade. Haney became famous for putting different groups of musicians together on stage, often using them to recreate the lineup of a previous version of The Bluegrass Boys, or to make some other point about the music in addition to entertaining his audiences.
This aspect of the early Haney festivals was also in evidence at the 40th Anniversary Festival in Fincastle, with Carlton up on stage a number of times to MC or narrate special tributes to some of the acts who were on the bill in 1965 (like Bill Monroe and Reno & Smiley), including appearances by pickers who had performed with them over the years." - John Lawless, bluegrasstoday...

Wow, seeing Phil Zimmerman really struck a chord with me. I miss him and spent some time with him in the mid 2010s at banjo camp north!
Thank you for this wonderful video presentation--in 1965, I was only 14 and didn't drive yet--but if I did, I would've been there. Of course, I eventually DID get to see all of these artists (except Clyde Moody) many times in the 70s right up till today at the festivals and concerts...thank you again!
We’ve done Galax a couple times and a Raleigh outdoor experience that became an indoor event due to rain. We love it!👍👍
I remember it well, I was there in 1965 with my daddy, he played music off stage with nearly every bluegrass band that was there at Cantrell’s Horse farm, bluegrass festival. Some of the best bluegrass music was played off stage at there buses and at the picnic tables setup in parking area for the buses. Returned in 1966 and 1967. That also set the stage for bluegrass music festivals all across America. Times like the first bluegrass festivals in America can never be replicated.
Also there with my dad. I was only 8 years old, but I was already into the music.
Nice documentary. I met Carlton Haney at Bass Mountain, NC years ago along with his wife, daughter Bonnie, and some of his Grandchildren. Carlton could sure tell some interesting stories. His wife told of the meals that she would cook for the festival folk. I miss them and grateful for their contribution to the music that I love so much.
I could listen to Fred Bartenstein all day long. Thanks to Carlton Haney for inventing this event.
Bill started it all, that's the reason he will always be
Known as the undisputed Father of Bluegrass Music.
Glad you enjoyed the video. Just put up a new one about Flatt and Scruggs.
Sitting here watching this with my friend the son of Mr Cantrell where the first festival was held. He was 14 years old at the time and remembers it all well. He remembers helping build the stage and watching over the hastily built dressing rooms.
Of course I met Mr Cantrell when we interviewed him for the video. He was a great guy. Give my best to his son.
Thanks for responding. I have searched high and low for a poster from the event. I thought he might like as he says he doesn’t have anything from it.
You might want to reach out to Peggy Crosson in Fincastle or George Honeycutt. They were both involved in making the video and I think the poster I used might have come from her. eBay could also be a possible source.
@@ScenicBliss thank you I will. I keep checking eBay, but no luck.
Carlton told me that there was home movie footage and I knew there was audio tape....so happy to see and hear some of it neary 50 years after hearing about it....
Great video!!! Thank-you for posting , Mike.
Haven't watched this video yet, but I'm really curious, I played fiddle for Monroe at that festival. In the opening photo of the video that's me standing next to Monroe.
Thanks so much great music
Thanks, hope you enjoyed the video. Have you seen my newest documentary about Reno and Smiley? Here's a link on TH-cam: th-cam.com/video/gWrjcsfHn68/w-d-xo.html
Hi friends, Pilatti
Good video!
Top History - Thanks.
Thanks, glad you liked it. I think you’ll enjoy my Flatt & Scruggs video also on my channel.
Carlton Haney could talk the horns off of a Billy goat.
To think that from all the corners of the world all kinds of music can be seen. Websites have their positive. And we have free will to stay away from the negative website. Just saying. Now to listen to some music
