I could listen to her all day. She could tell a story as well as she picked the banjo. Rest in peace Roni💚

[@dean828]

Just heard of the passing of Roni Stoneman... she had God given talent... gone to Glory with our Lord Jesus... making music beyond human comprehension!

[@brandenohara4099]

She was a bundle of laughter and joy!!❤

[@canberrygrass]

Love the Edison at the end of the clip - that is the way I first heard recorded music on my fathers Edison phonograph. This clip is priceless. Thank you.

Rip Veronica Loretta Stoneman, you will be missed

[@jagchuk]

What a lovely woman. She serenaded me along with everyone on Hee Haw during my youth

[@canberrygrass]

"Music Has Got To Be Fun - Be Yourself" - my kind of woman.

My dear old friend I was praying would be healed. Thanks, Chris. I'll enjoy this

Chris, this is a treasure. We are so blessed that you recorded this. And the gramophone section with her singing is beyond delight. Thank you so much for recording this and sharing it in memory of Roni Stoneman.

[@canberrygrass]

Thankyou for taking the time to record this interview Christopher. I really love them and love the wisdom of these seasoned musicians who have done the miles. Roni shares a lot a wisdom. "The audience is number one - you are there for them.- Play for every audience as if they are in the Ryman or somewhere special no matter where you are."

This is a treasure! Thanks for this, Chris!

[@daveduncan8004]

I’m sure that Roni Stoneman is playing in the bluegrass festival in the sky at this very minute amen

[@NoelPBrock]

Pure gold! Thank you for capturing this and for sharing it, Chris.

[@TylerGrant]

Delightful! Just the first five minutes of this tells a colorful story.

[@user-wh8mg4gh8d]

I just heard about her passing RIP Idalee Nagger she was one of a kind she'll be missed

[@theguitarjohnshow]

She was a very talented and beautiful lady and she will be missed

[@msmel99]

The story at 7:50 made me sad for them. They needed the money and Bill Monroe blocked them from the tour. That’s sad. This interview was so wonderful. Thank you for posting it. You preserved some wonderful history here. And Roni was a doll.

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

So welcome! Yes she was 😊

[@bobblehead67]

Heaven rest her; a real lady, a fine picker, and a great entertainer. I live in Bethesda. MD where the Stonemans played that debutante ball she talks about. I'd love to know what the venue was!

[@bennyblanko3]

Super cool! Her signature is on my old vega old time wonder open back ... such a cool, smart, funny lady.

[@johnharris3362]

Ronnie's talent and wit was such a important part of the Hee Haw family,she surely will be missed.

[@CjsKettleCorn-ee8xg]

Thanks for this. What a Light!!!

[@scalefingerz]

Thank you for this Christopher!

[@debbieprice4591]

Great Job!!

[@bendummitt888]

Now she can jam with the finest fiddler ever born, her brother Scotty.

[@brentevans6923]

RIP Roni 🙏

[@scalefingerz]

RIP Roni!

[@muttandjeff5213]

Thank you for sharing this! Grace and Peace to you Roni!

[@eternallife9786]

I grew up listening to Ernest v Stoneman and his Dixie mountaineers which I guess later became pop stoneman and all his kids forming different groups kind of interesting how they went from rags to riches back to rags

[@donaldewert2332]

Loved Roni, I live in Milwaukee R.I.P. ❤

[@lindseywalker6925]

You're a good man Chris.

[@R.L.KRANESCHRADTT]

46:45 Bella Fleck had "enough class to cover up his education"....🏆🏆

[@eternallife9786]

Bill Monroe tried way too hard to make bluegrass a serious art form and his method zapped all the fun out of old time music even though I do understand not wanting to be considered hillbilly all those old time performers had particular feelings about being called that and they weren't all good anyways awesome interview I'm glad I stumbled across this

[@michaelrochester48]

How come it’s not mentioned that she was on Hee Haw for nearly 20 years?

[@ChrisHenryVideos]

We were just kinda flowing there and it wasn’t in my question list. I was basically happy to enjoy her holding court. 🙂
