I can't believe this is on here because I was at this taping! It was at the Cannery in Nashville, free to the public. Saw an ad in the Tennessean that they needed an audience for a Hot Rize taping, so I went. Got a seat in front of Charles Sawtelle, not a bad place to be! There were probably 20 people in the "crowd," so the applause was dubbed in. Great show!
Man this was the early days for Hot Rize. I heard they were so poor starting out that Tim used to have to take off his glasses after the show so the van could have a windshield.
In college when everybody was listening to Cindy Lauper and Guns 'n' Roses, I was listening to Hot Rize and Tony Rice (throw some Ry Cooder in there too.) How uncool.
Sorry this took so long, but it would have been around 1984

@theberbness What bluegrass blog ?
flatpicker1234 1 year ago
@flatpicker1234 type "the bluegrass blog" into google. I can't type a URL into these comments, but it's just Bluegrassblog with a .com at the end

TruegrassBoy, you got it all wrong. Go into some up-scale golf development or gated mansion fortress - those are the rank strangers.

Great old Stanley Brothers' song. I think of this song every time I look around the streets of today with all the immigration.

Yeah Charles was really great. He used to pass out business cards with his name and number on them and just the word "Expert."
