Absolutely wonderful job! Playing with a legend, and becoming a legend at the same time. To all the future banjo players, this is who you want to learn from. He is the best that there is. PERIOD!

[@1959teddybear]

Thank you Carl for your reply. You're the best there is.

[@maureenarmstrong2307]

Oh, that was absolutely BRILLIANT... I've said it before, and I'll say it again, there was never a truer and more faithful friend to Glen than you Carl. Not many friends like that. xxx

[@terrytenley9327]

Those were the days.. so fun to hear and watch.. Nothing but quality too on the Johnny Carson show☺️👍

[@ParanormalGirl5]

Just wow! That blew me away. Thank you so much Carl for sharing your video of you and Glen. He truly was a legend.

[@ray.shoesmith]

Not only playing with one of the best there ever was, but playing at his level. Very few could ever say that.

[@gwmcklintock]

I love the smile on Glenn's face because he knows of the Mach 3 banjo playing coming up😊. Love this!!

[@marcydobbs1653]

Amazing virtuosity by both. Carl is still playing and helping others make their marks on bluegrass music. Hall of Fame for sure.

[@chrishodgson6302]

Brilliant work. So happy to see two masters in action. Great to see your videos continuing, Carl. Wonderful music coming our way. Best wishes to Ashley. I would love to see you both play one day. Love from the UK. Cheers.

KZbin has a video of Carl and Glenn's daughter playing together.

[@The911sierra]

So glad you found this gem!!

[@shannonburns6724]

Two of the World's best, and Carl and Ashley continue the legacy, and the talent just drips off these two. Ashley is no slouch either.

[@jeffreykik9607]

His videos will knock you on the ground😮

[@frankboothe6946]

Awesome!!!

[@bobvocal100]

Carl you have shared special moments and a friendship with one of the greats of all time!! no one can take that away!!

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

Thank you so much, BobVocal!!!

[@jamesmccoy8758]

Best ever

[@kmccabe444]

That's crazy good! Thank you!

[@BHiemisch]

1973 was the year I got my first guitar. As I watch this video, a lot of old memories come to my mind. Good times with friends, with music, the first steps of our band, the first tentative gigs. Unfortunately I never learned to play guitar as masterly as Carl and Glenn. Nevertheless the guitar is my constant companion and music is an essential part of my life. I wish I had had the opportunity to experience stars like Carl and Glenn in concerts when I was young. So I am all the more grateful that you let us see such videos. Many warm greetings from Germany 🙏🤗❤

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

Burkhard Hiemisch Burkhard..that is such a great statement and memory... If you ever come across the pond, and are ever in Nashville, you need to come down for a Monday night..it won’t be the Glen/Carl concert...but, it IS good!!!

[@BHiemisch]

@@RobinandCarlJackson Thank you so much, you are so kind. I hope that in the near future this will indeed happen to me!

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

@@BHiemisch We look forward to it!!!

[@johnmyers7500]

Glen Campbell was the best !!

[@oldmanfred8676]

Thank you Robin! From one of Carl and Glenn’s Fan’s, to another.

[@matermangros]

That's awesome😊

[@NatalieJonathan]

Fantastic.

[@jamesmccoy8758]

2 best pickers ever

[@WildPhotoShooter]

All those years ago.....Almost 50 years.

[@josephanderson7237]

Good old ODE style C (or D whichever is not gold plated)

[@mikerobertson4041]

Two great pickers!

[@garryhewes5153]

They went together like Peanut butter & Jelly

[@banjoist123]

Folks forget that Campbell was a picker before he was a singer and a star, famously a member of the famed "Wrecking Crew" that recorded about 2/3ds of everything you heard in the 50s and 60s. Carl is a banjo hero of mine!

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

That is exactly correct, Jim! ♥️♥️

[@shannonburns6724]

Yes, just listen to the Beach Boys, Jan and Dean, the Rip Chords. Glen and the Crew taught them all. Carl can light up a guitar or a banjo. Great talent. Something not allowed in the studios of Trashville these days.

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

@@shannonburns6724 you are correct on all of it!

[@shannonburns6724]

@@RobinandCarlJackson love you guys from the bottom of my heart. Great talent that will never be duplicated. Often imitated, but that is as far as it will go. Bless you all and Ashley too.

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

@@shannonburns6724 Aw! Thank you for your sweetness!!! I will tell Carl!!! ♥️♥️

[@hitchhikrr]

[@KIMMYSSONG]

[@searchunlimitedinc.6581]

How long had they been playing together at that time?

[@RobinandCarlJackson]

So sorry for the unanswered question! :o) Carl had been with Glen for about 4.5 months when The Tonight Show was taped...

[@ry4850]

was there a tune with Anne Murray too in this episode?

[@harpoon_bakery162]

[@lonewolf1053]

Believe I've just seen the worlds best banjo player....

[@alandougan4689]
