These GOO Foggy Mountain Boys shows are my secret folk music treasure. No glitz, no glamour, just pure music and simple adverts which have a charm of their own. Whole outfit was a treasure, but Earl Scruggs and Paul Warren priceless.
The violin player really makes that sound tie together, wonderful line up of musicians!! That second song, I know what it means to be lonesome is one of my favourites!!
I took up the violin/fiddle about a year ago and I tuned in to see if i was as good as Paul yet. One maybe if i live ling enough and eat lots if martha white biscuits
Great time and Great music. I remember watching them every Saturday. WBLR radio had them come and do a show. I still have a brochure Josh Graves gave me.
I can imagine Guy Counce walking in the community country store and someone saying, " Heard ol' Josh mention your name on the Grand o Ole Opry Show, Saturday night!" Reading fans names on the air is one of those little nuances that make the show ooze with nostalgia. Ol' Lester and Earl literally recognized the reason they were where they were.

I just bought an open back recording king. It was a mind opening experience. I play old old time beat a banjo down chorded 5 finger clawhammer. I was comparing the 2 recording king open backs they had. Both old time short necks. 1 was 400 with a white lady tone ring, but on sale at 219. The other was 250, no tone ring. I want that old mail order catalog deeper sound. What amazed me was how easy it was to choke down the higher priced banjo. The tone ring worked against it, as soon as you put ot into overdrive ot would stall out. The old time s3, without the tone ring, no tone ring, had better projection, better more stble sound. The action is a bit higher than i like down the neck but the intontion is perfect. I get home and runs neck and neck with a long neck gold tone ot 800. Thats a price difference of 1350$. Of i had found the recording king 1st, i wouldn't have the long neck, which is also an amazing instrument. In the end tho, it all comes down to the individual instrument.
I sure do miss hearing those accents. When I was growing up, there were some of the most pleasant Southern accents. The music has changed along with the accents. Most commercial music lacks any "heart" , like you hear in this music. Everything has become bland and generic sounding.
I think Curly was in the band because he could sing great harmony. The mandolin was just his prop at first. But I imagine he got better at playing it as time passed.
Lester played mandolin in Charlie Monroe's band before he became a Blue Grass Boy with Bill Monroe. I've read that after leaving Monroe Lester and Earl decided not to feature a mandolin player at first to differentiate the FMBs from the BGBs. I'd love to run across an old recording of Lester playing mandolin with Charlie's band.
To aviatycourt. The only time Earl sang any lines by himself was on the Beverly Hillbillies Pearl Pearl come and be my girl. Don’t you marry Lester Flatt. He slicks his hair with possum fat.

These old country shows are so good. Can't believe what new music has come to.
Their Carnegie Hall album is one of the all-time classics.
I'm amazed at how well-choreographed the musicians "danced around" the microphones.
Love, old country church songs.
この番組が与えたインパクトはブルーグラスの底辺を大幅に拡大させたと思います。文化遺産的な記録ですね。❤
Pure gold right here. None better folks.
They should be more comments. Alsome, I got to meet Earl. It was alsome shaking his hand. I have the picture.
That's wonderful you met him.He was a great of all time
Good ole days great music.

That's Paul Warren, one of the finest fiddlers in all of Bluegrass

@@danielgaughan4243 Goodness gracious, they're good!
Such a great band. Love the old ads, too.
Sent , I was a kid, I've loved your playing music and still do! I'm 74 yrs.
Anyone wanna by a banjo?....thats how I feel when I see Earl Scruggs show me how its played! What the hell is he doing for back up?! Mind-boggling

Got to see them perform in an open air show in early 60’s. Near West Line Mo
A thousand dollars?! I could get me a Ford pickup truck! 23:24
Great stuff!!!!! //Lars
They all knew how to play they were a tight band
Songbook started out as fifty cents and a three-cent stamp. Then it went up to a dollar and a 4-cent stamp. Lord knows what it would be in 2024.
20 cent cotton and 90 cent meat!
3 bitcoins and 3 imperial credits!
Wow!! This is fantastic!

I am on holiday and watching every volume of these superstars! Does Earl sing solo at all ?
38:25 Earl's boy Randy (Randy passed away April 2018 ) (64)
Paul Warren's fiddle looks like a Jacob Stainer violin with its pronounced arch!
Another great show was The Ed Sullivan Show. Nothing ever came close to it after it shut down.

@@redwolf7929 might be. Can't ask em so may never know
Please someone could tell me the name of this first song played by Earl Scruggs?
Ground speed
@@JohnSims3 Hi John, thanks for your reply...I've already found It at YT...It's really an amazing tune...
Only the greatest

Mandolin didn’t get much emphasis in Lesters band.
On some of the other recordings there's more mandolin.
It was to not draw comparisons between them and Bill Monroe. That's part of the reason they added the dobro too.
I think Curly was in the band because he could sing great harmony. The mandolin was just his prop at first. But I imagine he got better at playing it as time passed.
@@jameshall158 Josh Graves was amazing on the dobro, I must say.

Earl actually sang lead on a couple of the chorus with Lester singing tenor & Curly singing high baritone.
little dude on auto harp…cool scraping sound. His mom probably got him all ready in his suit and made sure his hair was just right.
That little dude was Randy Scruggs, the son of Earl Scruggs. His mother was Louise Scruggs, who also worked as a booking agent for Flatt & Scruggs.
