You'd be living in better times and a better country; more wholesome and good times, for sure. Back when men were men and women were women, and everybody knew it. Was everything perfect? Of course not. But that won't happen till this old world is done away with and we're living on the new Earth.

Fried some chicken with Martha White Hot Rize last night. So grateful to have these recordings. Thanks for posting.

When I was a kid watching these shows when they first ran, my dad and I would listen to this music on our TV of the time with its tiny speaker. Now watching these videos with my computer hooked to my widescreen TV and my stereo, the sound of Lester's guitar is so clear. I'm surprised the mic is picking it up so well with him holding it not especially close to it. That Martin L-5 D-28 sounds so wonderful. I'm glad I got the chance to hear it properly.

[@davekraft4277]

Great show from the past. Every song is just fantastic !

[@redwolf7929]

Yep very very good music ,and musicians ,and they all seem to be having a good time ,natural reactions and laughs ,today those variety shows seem so contrived to this.

[@TheRonnie63]

THIS NEVER GETS OLD❤

[@redwolf7929]

That weary bones version was great!!Earl scruggs so cool while playing funky camera work,awesome film.

[@rehakrumpusroom]

Oh my. Great audio! Thank you!

[@lwleedy]

How many of you want to write a letter to Martha White at the address they show and ask for the recipes? I Do!!!

[@WorldBluegrassDay]

If you so let’s us know what happens (we had the same thought)

[@briscoedarling3237]

Is Martha White Flour better than Pappy O’Daniel Flour?

[@redwolf7929]

Flatts vouce during the Martha white ditty sounds like it's tempting you to try some yum yummy cakes

[@margaretshockley2565]

Me too

[@williampitzer5534]

Ohh my goodness! Yes, yes sir. It's a much finer flour, perfect for morning biscuits I do declare.

[@SimoneBelivat]

difficile d’en trouver une préférée ici, j’adore jimmy brown 02:10, ça me rappelle la courte histoire "la petite fille aux allumettes ", aussi émouvante, bien à vous

[@roydixon5202]

What happened to us as a great country

[@redwolf7929]

You've peaked,now is the decline

[@actiondork]

Lol, you mean the "good old days" of Jim Crow and McCarthyism?

[@user-tc4kk5zx9g]

​@actiondork : Naw, that's what you mean.

[@emmachamness1748]

This great country is being taken from us because or our defiance of Gods laws. He promised us to be great as long as we lived by his laws

[@bobthabuilda1525]

@@user-tc4kk5zx9gThere’s no other choice. People who romanticize the past either long to go back to the dark ages of rampant oppression and injustice or they have no grasp on the reality of our history at all.

[@tednicolle9909]

My Dad strummed his guitar like that last guy.

[@tednicolle9909]

It's like a double strum.

[@ShowRyuKen]

Love the falsetto at 42:31! Completely unexpected and very welcome indeed.

[@bobthabuilda1525]

That’s Hylo Brown. That was his thing; he could sing on the bass side of baritone and then turn around on the very next verse and hit some incredibly powerful falsetto notes that glide back into chest voice flawlessly. He is truly one of the forgotten greats

[@lorraineashby9916]

big Paul Warren fiddler/fan here---never saw this before--when was it posted on KZbin? Thank you for this...

Ha, original bread sticks. Knickknacks sticks

[@yemarb1]

They ought to bring back hee haw and the grand old opry.....

[@JanetH.215]

Any idea what year this was recorded? Late 40's? Early 50's?

[@bobheath9098]

About 1955 I think. My father used to watch every Saturday evening. In the late 50s he brought back a Telefunken tape recorder from Germany in a B47. He would carefully set it up in front of the TV and record. We’d hear it again every morning as he got ready for work. We made a trip in Nashville to see the Grand Ole Opry live in about 1967.

[@user-tc4kk5zx9g]

​@@bobheath9098: Early 60s. Used to have bucket steak every Saturday and watch this after supper when I was 7 or 8 years old. Cubed steak to the younger gens.

[@jasonhacker7270]

Late 50s early 60s

Am I the only one curious about "PET MILK"

[@BeingRomans829ed]

They still sell Pet Milk today.

[@ProfesserLuigi]

It's just evaporated milk.

[@HOBaRT_]

It is a rather odd name for a food for human consumption lol.

[@Datanditto]

Not to be funny but Lester was flat. Very flat. I love the bluegrass and the nostalgia of the show but his flat notes ware my nerves very thin.

[@Alanoffer]

Goodness gracious it’s good

[@dareisnogod5711]

👎 Flatt's singing is a caricature of old-timey / hillbilly singing, i.e. in the worst sense.

[@MikeLibbie]

Where do we find the true old-timey hillbilly singing?

It was better than pickin' cotton or plowing a mule. Made it to Carnegie Hall. You never did either one.
