[michaelmaye34]

I love it and am playing along with them.It's great.:)

[BillimusPrime]

Nothing like the unplugged sound of an ole guitar and dobro side by side, they sure don't make songs like they use too. This stuff is golden, thanks for sharing.

[duffiedawg]

Wonderful version. Justice o Oswald on the dobro.

[shamrock4500]

brought tears to my ears, It was my Dad's favorite song.

[TheLeftylegend14]

sounds kinda like " It Wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels". Great playing

[fatsadie]

Haunty like some old Hank Sr. Takes me back to the old "prayer meeting" days in someones living room. Raw and emotional!

[Rangerett]

Outstanding! This was my Grandmother's favorite song. I have added your music to my favorites...you are truely accomplished musicians...and appreciated.

[darrell7491]

[Bigdcorbin]

That Twang in that guitar gives me chills everytime why cant all music be like this right here... God Bless y'all

[radiomorningstar]

This is absolute a top performance , your voice , that dobro sound and your son's gitar . This really is the best recording of The great speckled bird i'l ever heard

Thanks a lot and share some more with us

Jack.

[jimbobcooter23]

Do you have any cd's available? I can't believe how good that sounds with just an acoustic guitar and a dobro. You just don't hear good country music like this anymore. Definitely a fan of your music.

@micmac2241 Thanks a Lot----------We Play On Stage Every Week, and Have Done Many Opening Shows for Some of the Bluegrass Greats. But We Do Need to Get OUT MORE. May Hire A Camera Man-- someday-----"When I Strike It Rich" heheheheh!

[micmac2241]

@CountryBoyYes I wish you the very best of luck and Ihope you do get a cameraman soon.

We have here in Canada a very good bluegrass group called THE BLUEGRASS DIAMONDS but they don't have a DOBRO player witch I think would complete it nicely , they have videos on YOUTUBE if you want to check them out.

GOOD LUCK my friend.

@cjcidaho Well Thanks a lot-! I been a musician since I was 5 Years Old. Got a Picture I May Upload of Me And Ozwald- (Roy Acuff's Dobro/Banjo Player for Many Years). Been A Long Time Since I Last Seen Him--- And Don't KNow If He Is Even Still Living. I Was At His Birthday Party (I think 80th) in 1996. I was One of the Bluegrass Boys with "Bill Monroe" on Stage That Night! Bill Died The Following Year With Comp Of Pnuemonia

[CntryBoyVa]

Amazing..... Beautiful Do Bro playing---exceptional guitar playing....near 8 minutes long---had it been 38 minutes--I would not have missed a moment of it--in fact--the only thing wrong with it--was that it ended! Music like God intended! Mighty Fine Job guys!

[BanjoBoyMatteo]

Excellent execution, great old-style Dobro, that's what I like, and good tone out of that Martin :-)

[MeLady2]

[1witchshaman]

I can recall my grandfather and his brothers playing this yrs ago on the back porch, thanks so much for posting this

[richgarforth]

Great version of a great song, thanks a lot for posting.

[CountryBoyYes]

I really appreciate all my friends and all the wonderful comments I have gotten on this song. I really love to play music and sing, and it is a big part of my life. It really helped a lot having such a smooth and timely rythm which my oldest son Tommy 2nd provided with the Martin D28. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart

[iwritethesongs2]

Fellows...this performance brought back many wonderful memories of my dad and I playing this song. The dobro was his buddy, although he was never that good. I remember as a young boy going with him to a local pawn shop and buying his first dobro that was hanging in the window. Daddy passed away in 1990 and any music on the dobro brings a smile to my face.

Thanks for posting.

don

[KatNip2007]

I love you, countryboyyes!xoxoxo

[dnotned]

When I surf youtube, I am never quite sure how I get to where I am. Any who, landing here is great. I've marked the spot and will come back often. You are great.  Thanks.

[cjcidaho]

Exceptional. You guys not only have the talent, but you express the heart of this old song. I've heard it a million times and never tire of it. Great!!

I found your video because I am trying to learn to play an autoharp (without a teacher) and wanted to learn to play this song. I play your video over and over and practice with it. Thanks for being my "teacher," too.

[inkycap3]

What a fond memory this brings back to me. I remember hearing this on the radio. Then as a young girl I was able to listen to it on 45's while I was babysitting I could listen to all these beautiful songs that we call vintage today.

Thank you so much for keeping them alive.

Inkycap3

[MrNormsHGW]

OK, Now that takes me back. Very good job!!!

[bluegrasspicker1]

Thanks for the great playing and singing. My mom used to sing this to me when I was a little girl. She also said it was about the church.
