I have been hearing for several years that Dennis Quaid was going to make the Spade Cooley movie. I think it would make a great movie. But not much progress seems to be forthcoming.
I love Dennis Quaid and any movie he is in is usually a good one. It would be nice to see him in a "musical" . However, after reading of how Spade killed his wife I have second thoughts about even seeing a movie about the very popular band leader of yesteryear. If Dennis wants to play a real life musician maybe he could play Tex Ritter - he had an eventful life and was very well thought of I believe. -Paula
I just found a 78 record at a yard sale today, on the Bogan label. It's recorded by Charlie's Square D Boys, and is called by Charlie Bogan. Seems to be a hi-fi 78, maybe early 1950's. Thanks for the great video!!
Friend of mine who used to play with a bunch of bluegrass acts covers this song and introduced me to it. Couldn't always quite put my finger on the genre. Mac Wiseman is pretty unique. Also a Prine fan.
Mac suffered from the curse of being too good at too many styles. He was too country for the folk and old time shows and a little to folky for the hard core country acts. He was -- and is -- one of the greatest of all the entertainers and singers. What a voice. Instantly recognizable and able to sing just about anything. He should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame as well as the Bluegrass Hall of Honor.
I agree wholeheartedly with you that Mac should be in the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Bluegrass Hall of Honor. The last time I heard him sing was only a few years ago and his voice never changes. He is a true treasure and I never tire of listening to him. His unique voice and st yle really stand out especially in today's country/bluegrass scene. I am glad to see this performance here of Mac and the guys and gals in their western outfits. He looks quite classy too. I do love him.-Paula
Who's the blonde lady fiddle player? Joe Maphis's wife, Roselee, or Spade Cooley's wife, Ella Mae.(And I can't believe Dennis Quaid and Katie Holmes are seriously being considered to play Spade and Ella Mae in a movie)
Mac Wiseman and Marty Robbins were on tour and on a trip from El Paso to Phoenix. During the trip, Marty wrote the song, "El Paso" Mac and Marty were good friends.
This is the youngest Mac Wiseman that I've ever seen.Thanks a lot.I met him in Alabama once and took a ton of pictures with him,as fate would have it they were all lost in hurricane Katrina.He's a great singer ,songwriter.Thanks again
OH WOW!..and Tex Ritter also! Thanks for the posting!

Did anyone else recognize the announcer as Tex Ritter...the father of John Ritter? I haven't seen that face and heard that voice in ages.
