Back in '48, I got my first record player. A portable. Lordy, I thought I was really in the tall cotton then. I also got three records with it. Mama Don't Allow was one of them. What a precious memory,

Thanks

thanks for the upload... I've been looking for a vid of Doc doing this tune for a long time... I remember watching him with O'Connor, Bush, & the whole gang back around this same time on a PBS show that came on every Saturday back then -- called the Alabama Jubilee -- in Jemison, AL. I've never seen it since but sure would love to hear it again... them ole boys are the best -- guarantee ya. thanks again.

After listening to Doc's 'Essential Doc Watson' CD I took my guitar, chopped it up with the nearest hatchet I could find and used it for firewood. Made better heat than the music I got out of it.

Still, I Thank God for Doc. May he play forever!!

i agree primarily for the banjo part, but you've got to admit that was a good bass solo.

Good vid, but I much prefer it on the album with the banjo, piano, guitar, drums and bass though.
