Hootenanny Television Show Trailer

[Anglynn74]

I have a bunch of Armed Forces Radio records taht have tons of Hootenanny episodes on them

Hootenanny, is one of the best but little remembered shows ever made. Don't you wish we have shows like that instead of sh*t like Glee? Sure do. Look fo it on DVD.

Back then, unless you were a "beatnik", most singers wore suits and ties (or maybe sweaters or oxford shirts)...even the Beatles on Ed Sullivan looked liked fundamentalists going to church...

I would love to see the one with Judy Henske singing "Lili Lantry Lucy Brown" - one of those moments Iv'e remembered for a lifetime. It was what it was, at the time the only all folk music program, and much of it was great .

Any folk singer who wore coats and ties were insignificant. Sorry. That's the plain truth. Those prefab folk groups sucked. Those were the groups they mocked like hell in The Mighty Wind.

Actually, 'promagnum', "SHINDIG!" premiered on Wednesday nights at 8:30pm(et) in the fall of 1964, then expanded to an hour when Mickey Rooney's sitcom "MICKEY" was cancelled in January 1965...then the series was "split" into two half-hours- Thursdays/Saturdays at 7:30pm(et)- in the fall of '65 before it was cancelled in January '66. After "HOOTENANNY" was cancelled in the summer of '64, "THE OUTER LIMITS" replaced it on Saturdays that fall, then "THE KING FAMILY" [hour version] in January '65.

[fromthesidelines]

This aired on ABC's Saturday night schedule from the April 1963 through the summer of 1964, first as a half-hour show [8:30-9pm(et)], then expanded to a full hour in the fall, opposite "THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW" [7:30-8:30pm(et)], which is why it never returned for a third season.

I think the show Shindig took over this time spot on ABC.

Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I remembered the name of the show and that the performers were in a pit with the crowd around them and that I loved the songs. Thanks for the history and food for my search engines.

Great DVD.

[mthivier]

Some great talent, but unfortunately, the show only lasted one season. ABC stupidly made them ban the grandfather of folk music, Pete Seeger (who was still technically blacklisted), and so Dylan, Joan Baez, Judy Collins and most of the other "superstar" folk acts boycotted the show and would not appear.

We need more Hootenanny videos on YouTube.

Who wants to listen to this modern ersatz music?
