I still can't believe, that no film of the original Carter Family (Sara, Maybelle & A.P.) survived, given their status of real super stars in their times.

Maybelle absolutely changed the way guitarists used their right hand (assuming one plays right-handed). Of all her work on the original recordings, my favorite is "Canon Ball Blues." She puts the capo up a lot higher here than on the original recording. I wonder why. Just a fascinating performer.

In a word...magnificent!

This video was filmed at the Newport Folk Festival. Maybelle and Sarah were walking back to thier vehicle when they were stopped and asked to play two songs.

@hwoods01 Maybelle was actually tuned to where she was in "standard" with the capo at either 3rd or 4th fret. Not sure why but maybe so she didn't have to reach so far on the L5 when playing in C or G in her scratch style. If you tune your guitar this way you will hear where Maybelle's tone came from albeit with primitive recording equipt in the '20s and 30s.

A.P. was Sara's first husband and brother of Ezra Carter, Maybelle's husband.
Maybelle was A.P.'s sister-in-law, Sara's first cousin & Ezra's wife.
Sara was A.P.'s wife, Maybelle's first cousin & Ezra's sister-in-law.
Coy Bays was A.P. & Ezra's first cousin, Sara and Maybelle's cousin-in-law and Sara's second husband.
Merle Kilgore (co-writer of "Ring of Fire") was Sara and Maybelle's second cousin, once removed.
President Jimmy Carter is A.P. and Ezra's third cousin, once removed.
