Two of my favorite banjo players right here

[@grim_110]

You said it buddy!

[@DerickFeigum]

​@@grim_110I'm 30 years old and grew up watching these two with my grandpa on old re runs of hee haw and my grandpa was so surprised that I actually liked them because all kids listen to rap it seems like the sound and style blew me away

[@ksr9t]

Always like grandpa's wife Ramona too. I thought she was awsome on playing the bells.

[@johnnybox6070]

It don't get any better than this !!!

[@TreyBratcher-l4s]

Love you stringbean and miss you dearly

[@ksr9t]

Bobby Bare told a great story about Stringbean and his love for fishing. They were going to met and go fishing. They got the dock guess Bobby and his crew were still nursing hangovers. Bobby and the rest attempted to get in boat, somebody lost their balance, tripped and turn the boat over. Said Stringbean went out in the water picking up his gear. Once he finish he turned to everyone and said. Well fellows Maybe we'll do this again sometime. Its been yrs since I heard it. So story is close enough.

[@donmcneil8285]

Both in heaven now 😢

[@ksr9t]

Shame though how we lost Stringbean. Hope the thieving bastard had a miserable life in prison.

[@dr.miguelitoloveless9478]

The murder of Stringbean was shocking to say the least.

[@Oldiesmann]

Great quality footage for being from the late 60s or early 70s

[@eyorhararson8063]

Thank you so much for uploading this! It really made my day!

[@democron341]

All good. There's not many Hee Haw performances on KZbin barring the later years that are recorded with cameras or ones mainly focused on Roy Clark with String and GP mainly as side characters, so may as well have uploaded it.

[@williampalchak7574]

Wow. Made my eyes well up.

[@brianfergus839]

Love these guys : )

[@JonathanBaggett-d3t]

Stringbean Was On Hee Haw From 1969 To 1974 129 Episodes 5 Seasons

[@harlanabraham7772]

Roni Stoneman was another good banjo picker and sometimes would play with these gentlemen.

[@democron341]

@harlanabraham7772 Funny you should mention that. I'll be uploading a video of one session in the next couple of hours.

[@ronaldnock9666]

Love this!

[@DeloresLandeis]

❤❤❤

[@toddferguson4571]

only thing wrong with that song is it has to end!

[@chrislyle2425]

Believe it or not to Americans treasures

[@ronweaver9296]

That's how you pick a banjo fingers

[@oldrustycars]

I don't recall Stringbean wearing the long shirt on small pants on Hee Haw, had he given that up by then? I always loved his letter from home.

[@democron341]

I think given the schedule of Hee Haw a lot of other stuff overlapt so his famous outfit was pretty much gone by the late 60s while HH was filmed so he was seen wearing them mostly. Think the oldest Stringbean outfit photo was 1967, so it disappeared sometime after that.

[@grim_110]

❤

[@johnpivetta9120]

They were great a pair of legends

[@scottchristmas]

Stringbean was only 30 here

[@timwalcott6268]

Must of missed his death at the hands of buglers.how sad. Down home good man

[@GreenDragon-e7t]

Ya'll can tap your foot if ya'll want. SPIT... TING ...

[@2e7seh]

😂🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@illegalsmirf]

Sounds like they sound the t in little instead of saying liddle like modern Americans

[@grandpahickory613]

STRINGBEAN DID NOT HAVE TO DIE ! He could have turned, and left, and contacted the sheriff department, that would have confronted the home invaders, and took them into custody, instead he trusted in a Saturday night 6 shot 22 cal. pistol loaded with hollow points, but he was so scared he fired 4 shots into the floor at his feet out of extreme fear !

[@kansasoutdoors5667]

So he confronted robbers, but was scared to death....makes perfect sence....

[@gcabinet]

Put the blame where it lies. With the cowards that killed him

[@TheDjdonnie68]

This comment is completely unnecessary. Unless you were there, you have no idea. A senseless killing is what it was. R.I.P. String and Estelle 🙏🏻🙏🏻

[@DanKirk-k8q]

That has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard

[@charlesmangum2100]

He was murdered and that's that. Blame the killer!
