Andy sure could render.

I’m a Bluegrass lover because of the Dillard. Loved Denver Pyle too.

Is he one of us? Mor par 2 ya

They could really play

No doubts. They 😂were great!

When I was in college in NC in the mid 80s, me and all my friends would watch all the reruns and laugh at them at lunch the next day. It was so special when you would see an episode with the Darlings. Now, we have KZbin and can pull any of them up online. That show was so special and so funny. When I moved to the DC area in 1988, I saw the Dillards at the Birchmere. I actually got to meet them in their dressing room after the show. I can’t even tell you how special that moment was.

"I didn't know you strang!" I wanna bring this phrase back

"Just jump in where you can and hang on"😅😂❤

This will be the scene at neyland stadium. It's Alabama at Tennessee week folks!

You can't tell about bluegrass

Hey John!

Does anyone know the name of the very first tune they're playing in this video? It's quite catchy, & I'd like to hear the entire piece, but I need the title to find it.

Great stuff!!!!

O frisco darling lol lol shute😅😅😅

"We gotta hurry before that clerkin fellow returns from his supper". 😅 I just love the episodes when the Darlings were present. 🤠

Was this at Cherokee farms cause if it was I was there

I would say the mandolin player would either be Earl Taylor (but this looks to be taller than him) or maybe Monroe Fields with it being the mid 60's. Curly Seckler left the band some time in 1962. I believe that the mandolin player is Monroe Fields.

Peace.

Lovely.

I like John's version of Lorena

Loved by the soldiers of both sides in the Civil War. The years creep slowly by, Lorena The snow is on the grass a gain The sun's low down the sky, Lorena The frost gleams where the flowers have been But my heart beats on as warmly now As when the summer days were nigh The sun can never dip so low Or down affections cloudless sky A hundred months have passed, Lorena Since last I held that hand in mine And felt the pulse beat fast, Lorena Though mine beat faster far than thine A hundred months, 'twas flowery may When up the hilly slope we climbed To watch the dying of the day And hear the distant church bells chime We loved each other then, Lorena More than we ever dared to tell And what we might have been, Lorena Had but our loving prospered well But then, 'tis past, the years are gone I'll not call up their shadowy forms I'll say to them, lost years, sleep on Sleep on, nor heed life's pelting storms The story of that past, Lorena Alas I care not to repeat The hopes that could not last, Lorena They lived, but only lived to cheat I would not cause them one regret To rankle in your bosom now For if we try, we may forget Were words of thine long years ago Yes, these were words of thine, Lorena They burn within my memory yet They touched some tender chords, Lorena Which thrill and tremble with regret 'Twas not thy woman's heart that spoke Thy heart was always true to me A duty, stern and pressing, broke The tie which linked my soul with thee It matters little now, Lorena The past is in the eternal past Our heads will soon lie low, Lorena Life's tide is ebbing out so fast There is a future, o, thank God Of life this is so small a part 'Tis dust to dust beneath the sod But there, up there, 'tis heart to heart

This is back when they still had a good sound man[PA] at Bean Blossom.

Charlene (Maggie Peterson) sure could render! Wonder what Dud would be saying?

I doubt there is a set of lips around with that much versatility

Awesome Awesome

Is Vassar using a pick? He's so loud!

I need the name of the song😅please

and shows right here!

Came here from watching the Andy Griffith show bc after 57 years i suddenly MUST KNOW RIGHT NOW if _”Slimy River Bottom”_ is really a *THING* or just made up for the show back then? .. _googlegoogle_ .. ah! so badly wanted it to be .. YAY it’s a *_THING!!_* 🎉🥳 🥂🍾 🤟🏻🕊️💕

Needed a bass.

a few thoughts...the way John is playing the banjo at the beginning...it is what I would call "whamming"...a term the Pete Seeger used (I think)...and what is it with the myriad of instruments...mostly banjos...on the stage? Did John actually use all those for this show?

Pizzicato beyond compare.

Rather hear New Grass Revival do it.

Supernatural fiddle by Vassar Clements.

I lpve the darlings
