Hadn't heard this version before - where did you come up with it?

[lawrencethelizard]

It is a digital audio recording I got off the internet seven or eight years ago. I don't remember where.

do you know what year this was? I have an old flour bag or dish towel with Flatt and Scruggs and the lyrics on it, and was just wanting to get a date on it. Thanks

This video was made with a digital audio recording I got off the internet seven or eight years ago. I don't know how old it is. The images were also obtained from various internet sites. I just stuck them together to make this video.

There is older version of this song I actually like better. I wish I had it.

This is the version they played on the Opry before Marha White quit sponsoring the Sat nite segment-it was one made after Earl left-Josh is still on it so it is either Vic Jordan or Haskell McCormick playing banjo.

[olehoundog1]

@pegcage You know Haskell could sound just like Earl. But the reason I know that it was one of the two, they did not use a recording until after Lester died-it was played live until then. That's when they started using the recording from one of Lester's band. It still is great whomever though isn't it? It was the same one that Grant Turner played on the 5:45 morning show after Lester passed also.

Any of you old pullets or roosters get up before 5:45am to pick them up on their morning 15 min radio show? If you have listened to their Carnegie Hall album or CD, Lester does not quite understand how they came to hear it way up north. Well WSM radio 650 kc or KHz was a 50,000 watt clear channel station and the nighttime skywave was changing to regular daytime at that time period and especially on cold winter mornings WSM came in strong up north. I lived up in Ohio and listened to it.

Does anyone out there know who wrote this jingle? I heard it was Harold Lane, but I may be wrong.

I had the Carnegie Hall Live album and the audience yelled out for them to sing the Martha White theme. Don't believe this is it, but sounds a lot like that performance.

@olehoundog1 Disagree. Sounds like Earl to me.

Wasn't it in "Coal Miner's Daughter" where Doo came to ask permission of Loretta's parents for marriage?
