What model guitars are they playing?

[countryfan5]

Mother Maybelle's guitar is a 1928 Gibson L-5.

Helen's I'm not sure about, but most likely a 1934 Gibson L-5.

Where's June????

June was singing on several shows at the same time, so this clip is taken while she was on one of the other. ;)

This is country to the bone. I love it, wish we had some talent like this on the radio today.

This IS by far the BEST version EVER, but then whadya expect -- it's the Carters! Thanks for this!

As a kid growing up in a small town in India in the 80s, I came across two precious things....a cassette of Hank Williams (much later I realized there was a junior Williams too) and a library that had several Lious L'Amour. That was the image of America I held in my mind for many years. Finally, I did visit America. It is a splendid place, no doubt about it...but it was not the country of my childhood dreams. When I listen to music like this...it reassures me that all is not bad in this world.

Wonder if there is anywhere I could buy a 1928 Gibson. Lovely guitar

[pyrofella]

Man.. that lady could play a guitar... what an awesome sound... I love those old Gibsons.

June was a good singer, but I had read where her trouble was keeping in pitch (she could carry a tune). That's why she turned more into the comedy frame

[DammitDrag]

THIS is the heart and soul of America.
