It sounds like Benny Birchfield , their long time accompaniest who is also pictured on the album cover.

BTW, thank you so much for posting this video. It is fabulous. I don't think I have ever seen Bill so thin and svelte. I once overheard Jimmy Martin say "A lot of Nashville went on the Elvis diet" in those days.

Thats after Victor joined the BGBs and the flathead 250 he used with Jimmy Martin. I never saw him with an arch top.

I think that the banjo is Chris Warner. The songs for this album were recorded over a period of several years and Jimmy didnt exercise tight control over Deccas choices at this time.

@clyderf what a splendid comment ! In the context of F & S being such a huge influence, bringing the Allen Shelton / Jim and Jessie performances into your comparisons. Absolutely - I think that your taste is above average...

Arguably, Earl's best effort thoughout a song - especially his template into. Some have called this entire song F & S s very best piece, as schnefsky said earlier. Doyle loved it and said so.

1964 in Wash DC ! It must have been an exciting time. Bill Keith's banjo style made quite the impact with even an exciting picker like Smitty trying it out.

One of the standout groups ever - talent matching enthusiasm is hard to beat.

Entire sets were exciting.

Benny Williams playing electric. He was an excellent musician and singer. He must have been in the house band.

This IS rare! That was an excellent trio- Jack Cook loved that combination with he and Ralph above Keith.

Thanks so much for the post. BTW, that's the late Tater Tate on fiddle and not the late Chubby Wise. Tks again.

Actually, this song is correctly titled Is Your Love Like A Flower NTBCW Your Love Is Like A Flower made famous by Flatt & Scruggs. I heard it around 1980 sung by the Dominion BG Boys and I think written by one or both og the McDonoug Bros. As usual D & V do both a great cover and wonderful or...

I heard this song 30 years ago done by Dominion BG Boys. Great songs and great groups.

Great song and underrated group who are consistently excellent!

That is Jimmy Martin i/s/o Charlie singing lead.

As many different times as I heard Bill do this, I never imagined that someone would take it upon themselves to learn Monroes style so well - down to many of the nuances. And David's break is so creative. Thank you for capturing this so well. For the ages...feel the energy.

I suspect its Bill Torbert on mandolin with Jimmy

Was a great group and Dale's lick wasnt a whole lot different from the fiddle lick at 2:13. I liked this group as much as any he's had.

I dont comment much on these videos but I have to speak to Larry here. I've been

p laying for a long time and the best concert that I ever attended was Larry with Barry Crabtree, Art, and and David Harvey in . It was absolutely breathtaking. It was so laid back and essential. He is such a f...

about 1968

On banjo is Haskell McCormick. "K" was never skinny.

Son, James Monroe on guitar. Absolutely wonderful session. Hall of Fame stuff.
