[bluegrassman776]

sorry but, its true i know your going to argrue with me. but don't ok. i know my bluegrass history. listen why would he forgot the words if it was 1971 he played 8 more years. no sorry. its more like 78 or 79, thats why he didn't play guitar on the jed song. in the last couple of years it would only play guitar on a couple of songs

[bluegrassman776]

this is not 1971 chubbyfan sorry , its much closer to his death. he can't even remeber the words

[Chubbyfan100]

@bluegrassman776

The video is from 1971

Lester Flatt has died on the 11th of May,1979

[mattbakkker]

@bluegrassman776 Both Uncle Josh Graves and Roland White were gone from Lester's band by about 1972, so yes, this indeed is from '71 or '72. Anyone who would say that it is in '78 or '79 doesn't know what they are talking about. If 1978 then, where is Marty Stuart? He did joined Flatt's band in 1972 when Roland White left. By 1978, Marty was still with the band and about 19 or 20 years old.

[ladyleesutter]

Sounds traditional, is it? If not, who wrote and when? Love it.3 ezy chords. Couldn't find lyrics anywhere, so had to type it, but a joy to listen to over and over as i did so. Thanks fr positng.

The awesome Josh Graves on dobro, Paul Warren on fiddle (blue shirt) , Roland

White on mandolin, then of course Lester & Mac. I don't know the bass player, banjo player, nor the other fiddler.

They're all incredible ! Thanks for posting.

[LarryMusicMan]

Fantastic historic bluegrass music clip ! Thanks for posting.

Who knows the band members ?

[Chubbyfan100]

Thanks for teh comment,

the band members for me unknown.

Is the band from Lester Flatt .

[hillbillymusic]

I got this album when I was in college in 1971 and this song is absolutely one of my favorites. The whole album and Lester's Kentucky Ridgerunner album from that same time are just timeless and worth the effort to convert to CD. Thanks for posting this video of a great tune.

[Chubbyfan100]

Thank`s for the comment,for me this video

is also one best from Mac&Flatt

[Chubbyfan100]

tavernacletom: Mac recorded for CMH Records

in 1980 with the Osborne Brothers the single:

Bluebird Singing For Me/Mother Maybelle.

I have the information from wikipedia.

[tavernacletom]

Chubbyfan: Nah...the version I have is from an Eddie Stubbs radio show...it's 60's at the latest..maybe late 50's cause Mac's voice is so high

[Chubbyfan100]

The Osborne Brothers singing the song with

Mother Maybell in 1981, another with

Mac Wiseman.

The original release ?

[tavernacletom]

Who sang on The original 45 of "There'a a Bluebird'? thanks..any chance it's an Osborne?

[ladyleesutter]

@tavernacletom Did you ever find out who was on your original 45 for this? You say radio show late 50s, early 60s. Just curious when this song was written, and verify Mac Wiseman wrote it. Sure sounds like a traditional, but that is probably Wiseman's songwriting skill. I mean Gillian Welch writes songs now that sound traditional.

[Chubbyfan100]

Thanks for the comment,yes Mac&Flatt the

fantastic duo of bluegrass forever.

[samgrub]

great song i have'nt heardthis in years thank you

[MichaelGreen65]

Glorious! Two of the legends. I have the album this is from, and it is tremendous.
