So happy to share Americana with you

[@mdanderson1114]

Love The Dillards. Great bluegrass.

[@charliekucharski2079]

Man was I surprised to see this juxtaposition of the Dillards with Judy Garland, Jerry VanDyke, & Jack Carter. Thanks for posting.

Priceless

The days when even the Hollywood crowd played tribute to our Lord. Where did those days go? Life was so much better back than.

[@mduncan28]

Can you imagine Lady Ga Ga or Beyoncé doing something like this on TV today? Not on your life. I really miss shows like this and what talent they gave us. Judy is great and the Dillards, Jerry, Jack Carter, George Maharis and the gang. Sadly we’ve lost something in our TV over the years.

This was just a little bit before my time (I was born is '66) but this sure was a beautiful time. Love the music.

[@cmm2145]

Amazing! I love bluegrass, the Dillards, and Judy Garland! I’m saving this one. Smiled all the way through it. Judy Garland had so much talent in so many ways. No one else even comes close. I just wish that she hadn’t had such a hard life….

[@brucekuehn4031]

This was in 1963. The Dillards appeared on The Andy Griffith Show as The Darlings on 3 memorable episodes that year.

Effortless professional entertainment. Outstanding.

[@TheDrummerxtreme]

Wow, I so much appreciate this! How nice it is to see our Lord being recognized by Hollywood. And what raw talent! How I wish that I could have experienced that era!

[@kellycoleman715]

What a contrast! The Dillards and Judy Garland!

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

Cool clip

[@charliekucharski2079]

Man was I surprised too. The Dillards with Judy Garland is amazing and warranted. I once saw Doug Dillard play banjo with Dean Martin and Gene Kelly.

[@kelseymathias3881]

I love this! 🧡🧡💛💛💚💚💙💙 When people knew how to have fun.

[@gregwaldrop3810]

Wow, back when singing gospel music was mainstream. "Somebody Touched Me, must have been the had of the Lord", "John saw",

[@jjconc]

As Andy would say, "ummm that's good stuff!"

[@sonomabob]

A combination i never expected to see…….

[@Unkl_Bob]

Glory Glory Glory Somebody touched me Glory Glory Glory Somebody touched me Glory Glory Glory Somebody touched me Inappropriately too I must say

[@donnatlaw6172]

Yes, it was a great medley. But- at 5:50, is that Col. Flagg from MASH? I Googled him, yes, that is Edward Winter. Broadway musical actor in his youth!!!!

[@ClevelandLiveMusic]

I think it is!

[@brianblack121]

I thought he looked alot like the more recent/current actor Eric McCormack.

[@geraldstorseth8902]

It's George Maharis. I thought it was Hymie from GET Smart. IMDb😁

[@brucekuehn4031]

Nope George Maharis (played Buzz Murdock on Route 66), comedian Jack Carter and Jerry Van Dyke (Dick’s brother).

[@michaelthornton8000]

Naturally everyone comes here to see the legendary Dillards. But I'd like to draw everyone's attention to something remarkable, and its significance, in case it was missed. At 4:12 perhaps the biggest female movie star of all time begins singing a CHRISTIAN Brush arbor spiritual gospel song: Somebody Touched Me. But apparently, broadcasting ONE CHRISTIAN SONG nationwide to MILLIONS of people, WAS NOT ENOUGH for the producer and director, so they had Judy launch into another one at 7:00. I, John. I cannot in my wildest dreams, imagine a Prime-time Hollywood variety show NOWADAYS, hosted by a legendary A-List actress or an international celebrity personality (Kim Kardashian?), being allowed to Sing a medley of CHRISTIAN HYMNS to close out the show! I am not sure of the precise moment in our history, that our nation took the first wrong turn, but I do know the godless misery and suffering "Dead End" of self-destruction that wrong turn has led us to.

[@mikel5582]

Thanks for posting this time capsule. Is that Norm Crosby?

[@geraldstorseth8902]

Yes

[@charliekucharski2079]

I believe that was George Maharis you're referring to.

[@jamesnaile3661]

Was that tommy smothers on the banjo?

[@mdanderson1114]

It was Jerry VanDyke.

[@charliekucharski2079]

That was Jerry VanDyke on the tenor banjo and singing with Jack Carter. Doug Dillard playing bluegrass banjo in the Dillards group.
