Stonewall Jackson is a favorite of mine. He has one of the best voices ever for country music. So authentic. And he wrote a lot of great songs. "Washed My Hands in Muddy Water" is perhaps his best of many.

Here in NC on Saturday night there were three shows that we always watched. Porter Wagoner, Flat and Scruggs and the Wilburn Brothers. I don't remember the order. At some point I had to get dressed in my formal outfit so I could go out and play. I played bass in a local rock and roll band and I would watch these shows fully dressed to perform until I just had to go. Country music back in those days was written mainly for the older generation but I enjoyed them just the same. I am now 68, and I still play but there is no music written for us now days. I'm sorry for that.

Fantastic show and great singing artists as well . Love Porter Wagner and I also his fabulous Suits .. Would love them to come back again! I have two Sons and they were both brought up on Country Music! I had my Son, Wife and two Grandchildren .. My little Grandson who is only 2 1/2 years old and I couldn’t believe what he said to his Dad , can you put my music on and I hear George Jones Singing 🎤 I listen to the music all night long brought me back to my Radio Shows when I was a DJ so hard to think at his age that he loves Country Music!! I love Mel Tills and my favourite singer is Stonewall Jackson, play him everyday for my playlists I have made on Spotify .. Alexa is fantastic to have, she will play anything for you!! Dolly is one awesome singer too .. Thanks for a fantastic show Mr DJ .. Love my Country Music till I die 🎤🎸🎶🎵🌟💯

We had a TV antenna at the top of the mountain with a booster....when the antenna was positioned just right and the weather was good we'd get all 3 network channels from Knoxville TN. I loved watching the Porter Wagoner Show, Cas Walker, Hee Haw and the Bonnie Lou and Buster Show. If I could only go back to those wonderful days of my childhood!!

The Wagon Masters were a great band, and George was a big part of their distinctive sound. Don Howser, by the way, was the announcer for the show.
