I found Tony Rice on John's 'Steampowered Aer-e-oplane' vid and have since discovered more great music...

This one is just awesome.... Sam Bush, Douglas on dobro.. great fiddle, bass, etc. Love it! Check out -

I don't know who he is but it looked like John got a little embarassed at the remark. John was so gifted that he can sing anywhere and accompany himself with whatever instrument that he was holding at the time.

@TheGhost5600 I think John rolled with it just fine as his comeback was delivered right away!

"John was so gifted that he can sing anywhere and accompany himself with whatever instrument that he was holding at the time"

and if you have the 'Mark Twang' album, that would include his boots! Great album!!!

Thats the Lewis Family with little Roy lewis on banjo seated next to Jesse. The Del McCory band playing behind John. The great Jimmy martin @ 1:14 with the pink tie. At 3:17 in the green shirt is Eddie Adcock, sitting below him on banjo is Sonny Osborne with his brother next to him famous for Rocky Top. At 4:08 with the plaid shirt is the Tennessee slicker himself, Leroy Troy. @ 4:22 with the brown jacket is a great guitar player known as the "Sherrif". @ 5:02 in the brown jacket is Del McCrory.

@TheGhost5600 Thanks for the great info. Ya know who that guitarist is at 2:01?? I think he was the one saying, 'You cry all the way to the bank." John calls him Roy.

Nice...........

John was the whole package. Not many musicians could sing, dance and play an instrument all at the same time. Most of today's so called artists can't function without a soundtrack behind them.

John looked a little weak in this video because the cancer was starting to take its toll. I miss him like a brother.
