Folk Alley Sessions: Sam Bush - Ballad of Stringbean & Estelle

[kadennis66]

God bless String and Estelle. A great loss and what a waste. Hope the Browns rot in Hell. At least Grampa and String are together in the Other Side fishing, huntin' and playing banjo.

I sure that murderin son of a gun rots in prison for the rest of his life. They should haver hung him and his cousin.

[robbertdelany]

may them brown boys burn in hell forever !

[BBQkrewe]

such a terrible, unnecessary tragedy...

a fitting tribute i guess, if there could ever be one...

we miss you String and Estelle...

(I bet you were very proud of that hiding place though)

Great tune/ story

[MrRippedRocks]

I used to watch Stringbean on Hee Haw and his story is facinating and sad. Great song and subject matter.

Just heard this song on the radio, then hopped online because I had to hear it again! What a wonderful tribute. I think I'll definitely be checking out more of Mr Bush's work.

[MrBuzzeroo]

@opiate1138 Me too! What an incredible story song. Great playing too.
