[@davidsimmons1996]

I love watching these old tapes. These fellas would have laughed if you'd have told them, one day someone is going to be watching these shows on a telephone

[@robinhood480]

Yeah, and probably also laugh if told in person, rather than on the phone. I But perhaps not so if you wrote a letter.

[@Ron-vq3zl]

Ya know, I never thought of that point, but since Curly Seckler lived until Dec. 2017, when he passed at age of 98, I'd bet that just maybe, he got to see a few of these shows on a cell phone, when they were first hitting KZbin! If so, I gotta wonder now, just what he must've thought, & how he felt, at being able to view these ol' shows on here, OVER A PHONE!! LOL!!! 😊 Ron H. Abilene, TX.

[@alanoffer]

Imagine what it must have been like to have seen them live at a small country dance , I can’t think of anything better

[@navigatorjack6969]

Classic Real Country Music!!!! Awesome.Just Awesome

[@mikehenson819]

Yeah buddy this is real Country music.

[@montanax2172]

Aw man that intro song is amazing

[@1930Granada]

It's called Shuckin' the Corn

[@Lockemeister]

Really amazing how great they were and all performed and recorded with just one camera and what looks like one microphone stage right and another mike on the left side of the stage . These old videotapes are a true treasure.

[@williamcross2279]

+Lockemeister Actually, three mics. They usually used one on the bass as well as the two mics. Live, they used this same set up most of the time. But, yes, they were the masters of blend and dynamics.

[@joereadel]

I swear they had magic mics back in the day

[@thebountyhunter2783]

The best

[@ojnabsekil6531]

The best bluegrass band that's ever been...

[@jefferyhankins1980]

Made me some good ole Martha White cornbread for dinner tonight, thought I'd give the show a listen. Good night all!

[@roryross3878]

"Let me say a great big spacial welcome..." Love the authenticity.

[@ztahs]

No matter how many people Scruggs pick the banjo, there is only one Earl Scruggs. The maestro.

[@randyjones7818]

Paul Warren fiddle so good.today.jake never miss a lick on that bass..good stuff.

[@IMBrute-ir7gz]

Paul had that "old timey" sound. Hard to find fiddlers who have it nowadays.

[@randyjones7818]

Yeah.that old time sound is 1962...no more Lester flatt are around since then..earl real good and Paul Warren just a great fiddle guy...they don't teach that...rj

[@bluegrassblazen]

I just discover this treasure.

[@randyjones7818]

This tape has some of the best Blue grass music ever played on tape..lester and earl and Paul Warren..man.so good stuff. R

[@jerianderton8868]

Mandolin player never gets a break ;^(

[@rickeylocke1118]

I heard that the reason for that was a condition Bill Monroe put on them to get his vote , to allow them to join the Grand Ole Opry .

[@fiddlingary]

The reason is they didnt want to be identified the Monroe sound. Hence no breaks and strumming rhythm with no chopping

[@edmondcamp2878]

@@rickeylocke1118 I have 10 Martha White DVD’s and several and f and s albums and curly does take a break on Earl’s breakdown, this old book of mine, foggy mountain special and or don’t get above your raising and He took your place. Then on some of these songs on he DVD’s he takes no breaks on these songs and other times he does.

[@edmondcamp2878]

@@fiddlingary If you ever listen to the song troublesome waters Curley chops all the way through and takes the lead on a few other numbers.

[@Gmandancer]

I really wish I knew what uncle josh and cousin played, I can't find in anywhere else

[@foggymountainmusic3468]

I have been wondering too.

[@danieljones304]

It looks like Earl Scruggs took the mic over like a complete boss at 8:36

[@millieatr]

Well said Daniel

It's downright un-Appalachian to use any other brand than Martha White

[@RustBelter]

Curly keeps a ball point pen ...

[@wiggsan]

Anyone know the name of the tune at the 26:28 time mark?

[@foggymountainmusic3468]
