Back in 1952, I lived in Little Rock, and I would tune in WSM at 5:30 in the morning & listen to the Carter Sisters & Mother Maybell -- with CHET ATKINS playing guitar along with them!!
So, that guitar you hear is probably Chet... or a pretty good imitation (maybe Roy Sneed?)
Hilarious bit with Faron... you can tell there's a bit of ad-libbing going on. I love the dance steps with the Carter sisters. Looks like Helen has ditched her accordion somewhere. Take a peek at the b&W version from 1952 I posted. (on the right)
she is sooo funny:) i learned how to clogg from watchin her and learned how to guitar from mama maybelle:)

What a funny skit, June and Farron are awesome. I wish barn dances were still popular, with this style of music ofcourse!

Without a doubt, June Carter was special. Johnny Cash was a lucky man.

It's Chet & some of his unique licks. I think
I've heard all of the imitators, and there's
not a one that has his touch and sound. Close
maybe, but if you've listened to him for over
50 years like I have you can tell the real from
the wantabes. : )

Classic early June! Her comic timing and facial expressions were among the best.
