Mother Maybelle,was an original,she not only could play several instruments,she was damn good at it.I believe she preceded all the other female musicians you saw on the Grand Ole Opry.
i met mother maybelle outside the southern cross hotel in melbourne in 1971.the legion invited me to lunch and later to her room.i also met helen.my wife was with me and we both were knocked out by her cordial self.mother maybelle graciously gave us her autograph too.boy what a memory.
How many folks in the world can lay claim to creating a unique style of playing? Talent is fantastic to behold. The world has lost a lot over the last few decades.
i learned the " Carter scratch when i was 14... the only way i know how to play guitar... I learned from watching Mother Maybelle on all the old Country and Western shows of the day... and the Carter Fold is a great tribute to AP, Maybelle and Sarah...the original Carter Family... we were all blessed by knowing these fine people from Clinch Mountain...
I learned the Cash Strum first... "Sharp like a razor, steady like a train" but I have been working on the Carter Scratch, And I just mastered the Bakersfield Sound. If there are two things meant for me, it is pickin and a grinnin' I may be 23 but my taste in music is Timeless.
Thanks so....so...much for uploading this!!! The only was I can describe Mother Maybelle's playing is Hypnotic...it just draws you in. I only wish they had gotten all the acclaim that was due them, but we'll always have these videos to remember them by. If it hadn't been for her guitar playing I, for one, would have been totally lost in this world. Thanks a bunch -William
Maybelle Carter is a woman of great strength. A beautiful woman who plays like no other. Mother Maybelle is the mother and supporters of the Carter Generation. It is a legend, almost a myth to junkers. The legendary Autoharp which was played by Maybelle Carter took its magic unto l'il Junie Carter. Maybelle is the woman whose guitar is playable and like a potion. Mother Maybelle Carter is a generation of the Carter family that is not to be pushed around. 'Bury me be beath the willow'.. says she.
I always loved June and mama mabelle, and Johnny! A young senior lady Fresno Cal
