  • Good to See Floyd"Lightning" Chance at work on the bass here.

  • @TheAzmountaineer Yes sir! The master at work doing what he did better than any other!

  • Benny Williams playing electric. He was an excellent musician and singer. He must have been in the house band.

  • love that close-up of Earl's right hand!

  • @plowboymark Marty Stuart was born in 1958. This was filmed around 1962. Marty went pro at age 12, in 1970. Not with Flatt and Scruggs, but with The Sullivans. He first performed with Lester Flatt's Nashville Grass on Labor day, 1972. Scruggs was not part of that group. Flatt and Scruggs broke up in 1969. Given that info, it's not likely to be Marty Stuart in this video.

  • Nice. Brings back a lot of cool memories.

  • @plowboymark

    I don't think that's Marty - this must be late fifties early sixties at best and there are videos on youtube from Marty in the early seventies where he is still a young teenager with long hair. Check out the dueling banjo video for example. This guy looks too mature to be Marty at the time in question

  • @longlivejerryg I'm pretty sure that's Marty Stewart. He joined the group when he was 13 years old.

  • there's an electric guitar in the background - that's pretty avant garde

  • @CARROLLCTYDOBROGIRL Just Lester and Earl were guest on this episode of the Pet Milk Opry show (around 1962 if memory serves me correctly), that featured Porter Wagoner as the main star.
