hello friend

I appreciate your responses and comments.

I can understand English well enough but I do not dare write it, will use a translator.

Indeed I think that this interpretation of bluegrass transcends time.

I fully agree with you, were and will be giants in their musical genre.

Mr Hofmann visionary filmmaker was that day.

Unfortunately some brain mosquito, (never missing), criticized the film ..

Excuse the expression, but what I feel.

Big hug from Buenos Aires, Jose Luis.

The camera is a time machine and thanks to this beautuful film future generations will be able to go back in time just as we have and enjoy this magnificent moment in music history. Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful session with the world.

@ratherknotty - thank you for your beautiful comment. I feel the same way about these old films that I made so many years ago. It is interesting that when I was there, setting up the scene and filming it, for each of these amazing moments in the music films I made back then, I knew that I was recording history. I could feel it at the time. And it proved to be true today.

I'm so thankful there have been people out there like this film maker who took the time to record moments like this. It must have been a wonderful afternoon. Earl, Merl, Doc - wow what I would have given to be there on that day. Oh wait - I just was! Thanks!

This video just made my day. I love music, all music, in its rawest form. I listen to rockabilly, swing, jazz, punk, whatever, I love it all. This video shows how greast bluegrass and roots music really is. No soundboards or mixers, just people playing their instruments. I love it!

I am family and didnt even know this existed. Thank You!  RWB

This is most valuable footage here! Anything with Merle in it is. I had the pleasure of seeing Doc and Merle Watson perform together in 1968 in Los Angeles. Merle was a phenomenal picker. He and his dad were amazing together. RIP Merle.
