My dad was a lifelong fan of charlie waller. He knew about every C. W. Song by heart. He played music for over 50 years. I once said if i ever sold dad's guitar it would only go to C.W. I still have that guitar. I've seen dad play with a lot of those guys in jam sessions over the years. Now, dad's dream, he and charlie in heavens bluegrass band.
Wonderful story and background info. The pictures are not in sequence showing band members at various stages while relating anecdotes of other times. Two of the finest bands to ever grace a bluegrass stage, anywhere, anytime. They are responsible for broadening the reach of the music in very large measure. Thanks for posting !
I was very young to regularly visit the Shamrock in the late 1960's. But there I sat one night with my girlfriend, and later wife, Susan. Wife of 54 years, no thanks to those rascals "the Gentlemen." I went to the right to visit the pisser. On my return, there sat the entire band at our little table. Yes. My wife was beautiful! And those guys didn't miss a trick to ensnare a young beauty in their nefarious plans! But I forgive.
We would go see them all the time and everytime we left a festival my daddy would be so ticked. Those “gentleman” lol as you say would flock to my mom and her twin sister. I had to reply because you gave me a flashback to my childhood
cowboy, I produced this video and I agree with your concerns about showing more long form music, the problem for creators is that we get into copyright trouble if we include too much music, sometimes if we include any music. The rights to all these songs is held by somebody, usually large music corporations that have bought up the rights, if we use them we can't monetize the videos to help us support our channels. The only way around this is to just give all the monetization to the copyright holders and do weeks of work for nothing. I chose to do that on a couple of my videos, here is the link to my most viewed: th-cam.com/video/9Xr8_OKFjZE/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IngFjBFQ_6m7usaV hope you'll enjoy it.
According to Ralph Stanley John Duffy was an asshole he said he loved to pull pranks and sometimes they were down right cruel he was a cocky person and Ralph Stanley got him back and humbled him one time u need to read Ralph Stanley book to kno bout this story just thought it was interesting John Duffy I always admired as mandolin and tenor singer but when I read what he did to jimmy martin bus at a festival while jimmy and his band was on stage my mind has changed of him
Seems like the creater of these videos doesn't have a depth of background, just does some research and pulls some music and photos together. They are nice short videos with some general info, would be helpful to have them reviewed first o catch any little inaccuracies.
They were the best both the Gents and the Seldom Scene. They both put on the best stage show. Charlie Waller had the best voice I ever heard.
Always were, and always will be the greatest bluegrass band of all time
First memory of seeing them live was about '74 at the Prince William County Fair. Never forget it. It was a blast.
I remember watching them play at the Berryville Bluegrass Festival in the early 60s. Great times!

The negative initial post is bs! This is very accurate. I worked at Arlington Music when John was the first offsite Martin Guitar official repairman.
So much rich history, still continues. thank you

The Greatest Bluegrass singers ever was and always be Don Reno &. Red Smiley ❤💞💞🎼🎶🙏❤️🎶
At the Louisiana Hayride, Elvis actually opened for Buzz.
Most of the photos of the “classic Country Gentlemen” show Doyle Lawson
What really sux about these documentaries is they wont take a few breaks from talking and play some of the songs all the way through.

Charlie passed in Cherryville, NC
Charlie Waller died visiting his garden at home in Gordonsville VA in 2004.
Highly edumacational.
He certainly grew up in the business and was influenced by the best!

Where did I get that Duffy was a dentist?
John Starling was an ENT MD?
So much misinformation and mispronounced names.....jesus....😢
