Maggie Peterson (Charlene Darling) comes from a touring musical family. She sure fits in tight with these boys. (One of my first young boy 'crushes', and 50 years later she looks better than I do!). A 1 and a 2 and away I go...

[viddymeenow]

Andy wasn't a Dillard either, but he sure gave them a national name by promoting them on his show.

[FurKitty99]

No facial expression whatsoever! Classic! :D

[mm1sis]

Is the father doing anything by blowing on that bottle?

[5mw6]

The jug makes a kind of bass sound.

[gregoryy2k]

It's really not doing anything but humor, although you're correct that it can make a sound and be tuned. Notice they have a bass guitar for the bass.

[amerikanerMarinen]

Called juggin. And yeah he is. Keeps the time.

[ruggggg]

lol no, thats not Mike Nesmith.

[74norton850]

Is that Mike Nesmith of the Monkee's playing mandolin on the bed?

it's a pretty good song. Earnest T only improved it ;)

[MasonMan16]

[Graymalkin2001]

Old man Darling is the Victor Wooten of juggin'.

[daisyheyes]

Hey!! In the beginning, Mr. Darling is Uncle Jesse from 'The Dukes of Hazzard'!

[BuzzHarper]

i had a play the "The maberry Christmas" and i was Opie Taylor and we used that song in our play

[BuzzHarper]

Dooley

[dwi55]

I think Ernest T may have made the first rap song!!

[ITILII]

Ernest T must have invented rap, though his was much better than what's currently around

[amerikanerMarinen]

Ain't nothin wrong with some hillbilly rap.

I love it. Hahah, you're right.

[icybear1]

awesome!

[sallie4taz]

The FBI still has no definitive word on the persistant rumors that Ernest T Bass and Phil Collins are one and the same. Any thoughts? (They have the same hair and teeth...plus both have shaved the backs of their necks real slickity.)

[ncnikonguy]

These guys are top notch musicians.....simpy awesome

[stoogemanstooge]

this song is incorrect...you cant cork a bottle when it time to fetch out the still. you have to wait 2 hours so the bottles dont explode.

[stoogemanstooge]

this song is incorrect...you cant cork a bottle when it time to fetch out the still. you have to wait 2 hours so the bottles dont explode.

[bucketmouthangler13]

well then Dooley must have had bottles as strong as his moonshine

[ken24901]

The "old man" Brisco Darling is Denver Pyle, aka Uncle Jesse on the dukes of hazard.

[bergtondude]

lol just figured that out a bit before u replied,there pretty good

[bergtondude]

arnt they a real bluegrass band? if they are whats there name?

[SOONERCRAIG]

As a matter of fact the are a real bluegrass band. They are known as the Dillards. (The boys are that is.)

Darlene and the old man are just actors.

[jjessup703]

It's not Darlene it's Charlene.

[PeggySue1013]

@SOONERCRAIG - that's "Charlene", and her real name is Maggie Peterson. They show up at the reunion up in NC now and then.

[FredPilcher]

@SOONERCRAIG

The Dillards were - are - one of the all-time great bluegrass bands. Doug, the banjo player, wrote and performed Duelling Banjo on Deliverance. Charlene's not (just) an actress - she's Maggie Peterson, a great singer.

[bitcheznhos]

@FredPilcher sorry Eric Weissberg played the banjo part to Dueling Banjo. Doug is a great player though

[FredPilcher]

@bitcheznhos

:-) So he did!! Thanks for the reminder and correction!

[thebenstrong]

@SOONERCRAIG The old man is Uncle Jesse on Dukes of Hazzard

[GEORGEREEVE]

My favorite family.

[jcad1009]

The name of this tune is "Banjo in the Hollow" by Doug Dillard (the banjo player)

[Cyrusl99]

I sure wished they'd played all of "Don't hit your Mama with a big stick", but then, that'd always make us all cry.

[CripplerFan]

Are you kidding me? long live the Darlings!!!
