The Dillards on Nashville Now

The Dillards perform as The Darlings with Denver Pyle and Maggie Peterson on Nashville Now

I want to hear them play Never Hit Your Grandma with a Stick. Oh wait, that one always makes her cry.

[@betterd9160]

She will just have to fight it

[@MitchellMaichak-ze7mr]

Every song they played made her cry !!!

[@bwyou812]

RIP Maggie Peterson! She passed this week at 81 in 2022

The Dillard's are excellent musicians. To have Denver Pyle playing his jug was a nice addition. 😊

[@patrickdaly5068]

I will NEVER get tired of seeing the episodes of Andy with these folks. What great musicians and funny episodes. Maggie singing “There Is a Time” is amazing. Also, I love how the boys stay in character here with their facial non-expressions. Just awesome stuff. My mom had a Dillards album but she’s now passed. I need to ask my dad if he still has that.

The thing I love most about the Dillards is the bass player. He's a great bass player, but it's the pipe. He always looks like such a badass.

[@DanPurdy1]

Actually smoking a pipe if you pay enough attention.

[@BeingRomans829ed]

She's actually prettier here than when she was on Andy. Got prettier with age. Not many women can claim that.

[@musicman201047]

Sings a little better,more depth.

[@centerice]

It's unbelievable. I never would have guessed that the cast member who changed the least, was Briscoe Darling (Denver Pyle). Literally looks EXACTLY the same. They really missed a golden opportunity for nostalgia to have him introduce the song with one of his classic lines, eg. "ya got time to breath, ya got time fer music."

[@joebarker8081]

Just jump in where ya can....and hang on...

[@laurenjohnson338]

Awesome to see Denver Pyle on the stage with them.

[@denisespurlock7869]

Gotta love The Dillards!

[@LarryWhite-kw5mj]

Sad most of them are gone.

[@beverlywaits7663]

Y'all are wonderful always love seeing you on the Andy Griffith show 😊👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾💚💟💚💟💚💟💚👍🏾

[@centerice]

Thank goodness I grew up at a time when a wholesome, non-profane, openly Christian show was allowed on TV.

[@BabyLettuce70]

The Rifleman actually quoted scripture!!!

[@katelynnkenney9694]

I have literally no idea my Uncle Denver does it, but he does it!

[@joebarker8081]

😅

[@b42baritone]

The Dillards got me to listen to Bluegrass music when they were on the Andy Griffith show. Back then I have never heard of Bluegrass music.

[@caroljeanscott5571]

I really liked the Dillard's.

[@alanmorris7669]

Charlene's real name is Margaret Ann Peterson. She married a jazz musician named Gus Mancuso.

[@ronwade5433]

Thank you.

[@trinab9612]

I wish people would put the date of the performance on videos

[@WornoutRNPARAMEDIC]

Loved them on the Andy Griffith show and still do.

[@jeffmayo2439]

Denver pays a mean Jug !

[@MrNurseDrew]

He can get banjo sounds, guitar sounds, whatever you want out of it!

[@reggiestudios9844]

Dillards are my family

[@joebarker8081]

U wish..

[@deborahhughes6923]

They were great!!!

[@benman1577]

Awww that one makes me cry!

[@ronwade5433]

Dillards, Darlins was on Andy Griffith show.

[@Pro1er]

Sometimes you get used to hearing a song performed by a certain group and when someone else performs the same song it just doesn't sound as good. I've never heard a song by the Dillards that sounded better, or even as good as when Maggie sang it - _There Is A Time_ is a perfect example.

[@lizcis3875]

I love the dillards/darlings! I'm a northern girl but love that blue grass music 🎵🎶🎶🎵

[@DanPurdy1]

The Dillards were so good. Adding Maggie Peterson singing and Denver Pyle on the jug helps.

[@envy9565]

it's wild that mitch was the oldest of the 4 and yet looked younger than even rodney lol

[@marymathis9299]

Ssooo sweet memories! Thanks so much! 🥰❤️👍👏👏👏👏🇺🇸💥☄️

[@johnfarel3152]

Anyone know what hear this was? Assuming 80s

[@jeanc819]

With Denver Pyle, wouldn't that make them the Darlings?

[@BlessYourThoughts]

no body admits it... Salty Dog the dirtiest song in bluegrass.

[@Acoustic_strings]

More Pow'r to ya

[@leolacasse6278]

too phony

[@andygossard4293]

First to ever hear her really sing. She was great.

[@dawnriggs4081]

Bart do you have all the show of Andy Griffith uptown downtown show and the other one you have with Jim nabors? I like to buy them for my residents at the assisted living home

[@mistergrandpasbakery9941]

Hooray for Maggie! 💘

[@aflipflop]

Con l'âne dent !

[@jagboy69]

Anyone know what year this was filmed? Denver died 1 in 1997...

[@RedEyeC]

Shortly before Nashville Now folded - 1993.
