14 time Grammy Award Winner , Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder Treasure Chest Tour coming to the historic Watseka Theatre Watseka IL on Friday August 26, 2011.
When I see Ricky I am reminded of a story in National Geographic some years ago and about the time of Daniel Boone coming here into Kentucky, there were two brothers named Skaggs that were "long hunters" in this area.They were probably Ricky's ancestors since he is a Kentucky boy.
I'd love to have seen this show in person. Thanks so much for posting this. Ricky and Kentucky Thunder are playing with Boston Pops again on June 25th and 26th this year. Wish I could make it up there to see it.

did some family research the other day and learned that this guy is my cuzin.... i about fell out of my chair when i saw how much him n my gma look alike!
@sweetolelady: if you download the free browser, "Firefox" by Mozilla, you can then add extensions that will allow you to download videos from youtube. Just do a search on the firefox website for 'youtube downloaders'.
@1granddragon not only pounds but also a ton of arrogance. I have met numerous country stars and Ricky really shocked me to no end. I expected this guy to be friendly and country as cornbread but he is by far one of the rudest performers I have ever met. He is smug and talks to you like he is doing you a favor by him speaking to you. Ricky is good at what he does no one can take that away from him and his many talents, but without fans a performer will go no where.
@2handsforchrist I used to work in Nashville in the court system and he came in looking for the Chancery Court Clerk. I was standing there and I said hello Mr. Skaggs hows life treating you, being friendly with him and I thought I would get a reply like good or something to that fashion. Instead I received a "Well like you need to know how my life is, it's going. Why would you ask such a stupid question to me? I was floored. I said I was just being friendly, and he said well I don't need it.
@chip10289 you probably caught Ricky on a real bad day. we've all had them. you've probably even said some things to some total strangers that were not of your character. you can't judge him based on one little encounter. I've known Ricky for right around thirty years and have never known him to intentionally be like that. I bet if you ever saw him again he wouldn't treat you like he did that one time.
@2handsforchrist Yeah he may have been having a bad day. But when in the public eye ya gotta kinda suck it up especially when you are looked at in high regards. The 2 people that were there was shocked as I was. I know people have bad days, but to call someone stupid, kinda a far reach for a bad day. Not like I was gonna ask for an autograph I had more repsect for him than that, and he lost it that day. You think folks are nice but soon find out different if you say anything to them. Take care.
@2handsforchrist I just saw some other posts about Mr. Skaggs and it seems he does have an attitude with people. You said he might have been having a bad day, but from what I read with others that have been around him say he is arrogant, bossy and stuck up. So he must have meant what he said that day. How can you know him for 30 years and your only 31 I find that a mystery? I think your defending a man who is a very rude person. His music has been no where for years that may be why.
Ricky Skaggs is synonomous with class. He came to our town of 25,000 3 years ago and gave a world class performance for a crowd of 400. I was totally embarrased that more people didn't show. We all gave him and Kentucky Thunder a standing ovation several times to show our appreciation. He is one of the greatest talents ever to hit country music. Started his own recording company to help new talent and continues to be his own man. I put him in the same class as Eddie Arnold and Chet Atkins.
I have 5 songs of Ricky w/the Pops doing my arrangements. In some you can catch some of the Pops musicians smiling . . . and you know they are trying not to show they are having fun . . .those old "longhairs" as we used to call them.
@beatsbooze This has to be the best music ever! guys that been playing all their lives to realise their dreams,and doing a damn good job of it.... listening to this music gives me goosebumps every time.
@kcaissie Thanks for this. This is great music. I appreciate all of it, but this gives the "other guys" a chance to hear/see some classic stuff. Hope Quantumdave is still putting some of this together. Great mix.
@beatsbooze Ya Ricky and the boys did class the joint up a bit,I'm sure it was gettin a lil bit stuffy till Ricky and Kentucky thunder showed up,lol Great post for sure!!
@beatsbooze You're absolutely right! You know, I saw Steve Martin play banjo at the Power Center in Ann Arbor, MI, and he classed that place up with sweet bluegrass music! But, all the snooty rich folks expected more of a classical feel for the music, and I bet no one other then a few people (including myself) had ever heard bluegrass or old-time. They did a tremendous encore that night, everyone cheered, and about three people other tan me knew about the Orange Blossom Special.

it's kind of weird, he blends bluegrass features like the banjo, fiddle, and mandolin, but then their are drums and a horn section... im not sure what you would call it.
@quantumdave hrm... actually, that doesn't sound like such a bad idea. country/bluegrass+brass=win, as far as i'm concerned. Either way, sounds great.
Im sorry, I love Ricky Skaggs, but I think he lost his way after the album "Skaggs and Rice" best version of "burry me beneath the weeping willow tree" ever! And highway 40 blues is not a bluegrass song... country- there's nothing wrong with that, just saying.
very cool, I am honored to have had ricky skaggs and the boston pops come to my home town ketchikan,alaska...they performed live in our high school auditorioum and what an amazing, fun show it was! the best time I had ever had.
Thank you, because when I got the assignment to write the orchestrations for them I was worried about how exactly I should approach it. I ended up just making them another member of Ricky's band. I was very pleased with the way it turned out!!
It is very much appreciated to be able to see this on You Tube. Wonderful. Ricky was featured most weeks on Country Radio shows in the 70's on many stations but it died here in UK. Of course I realy appreciate all the other artists on You tube also, and I buy cds often.
Let's see, Ricky Skaggs played with Earl Monroe and Flatts and Scruggs at 6 and 7 years old. He replaced Rodney Crowell in EmmyLou Harris's Hot Band and gave Alburt Lee the right to use a song he wrote called "Country Boy". Won several Grammys and was CMA's Entertainer of the year. He has had over ten top 10 Hits. He plays mandolin, guitar and fiddle with the best of them. Now what the hell is the Ottawa Country Bluegrass Band and who is Denny Mitchell?
What a great man - humble, caring, helping, and can sing the shit out of any song you put in front of him. He's truly got a velvet voice, one of the best voices in the history of country/bluegrass music!
This is a great video.I am so proud that bluegrass is being played by such talents.Everyone of those guys is a master at their instruments.Bluegrass...country music in overdrive.
amen to that. I never thought the Boston Pops Orchestra could mix together with bluegrass in such great harmony. But this changed my mind cause Boston Pops+Kentucky Thunder=AWERSOME!
Man, I'd forgotten how much I like Ricky. What an awesome entertainer, singer, player. He's kind of in the "middle ground" of country music, but I'm fine with putting him up there with Merle, Waylon, Willie and all the rest.
Absolutely wonderful!!! A new genre of music has been born. Any chance there were enough songs to produce an album and if not, any chance they will do it in the future?
Thanks quantumdave. This is absolutly the best of 2 worlds combined. Hillbilly meeting classic. I never in my thoughts the 2 would go so good together. Fandamntastic.
Fan-fucking-tastic! I don't care what "genre" of music you may prefer to listen to on a regular basis. You have got to respect the fine musicianship on display here. These are artists pouring their hearts into their craft, and it is quite refreshing to see. This is such a sad and beautiful song, and I have no idea what made me think of searching for it tonight. I'm glad I did though, cause this shit it AWESOME!!
this is the best best best ! version iv heard so far.. haha highway 40s a whole lot of nothing..i live like 20 mins right down from it... and its a long road of nothing lol , lots to think about when youre drivin it or walkin it god forbid!
Very nice job. You are truly talented. I did a little arranging for the Jazz band I played with in college. Full horn sections and rhythm sections. I can't say I know what you have been through b

Fan-fucking-tastic! I don't care what "genre" of music you may prefer to listen to on a regular basis. You have got to respect the fine musicianship on display here. These are artists pouring their hearts into their craft, and it is quite refreshing to see. This is such a sad and beautiful song, and I have no idea what made me think of searching for it tonight. I'm glad I did though, cause this shit it AWESOME!!

QuantumDave-Well, all I can say is OUTSTANDING!!!
Very nice job. You are truly talented. I did a little arranging for the Jazz band I played with in college. Full horn sections and rhythm sections. I can't say I know what you have been through b
