One of those people who never forgot were he came from my hats of to him great American.

Of all the great episodes of Andy Griffith, the Darlings/Dillards will always stand out.

Rodney Dillard is an American treasure!

Loved Rodney and the Dillards! Around 1968 saw them front for George Carlin at the Cellar Door in D.C. One of the best shows ever! Saw them twice there. Rodney had a little harmonica he stuffed inside his mouth and played. They told great stories and made great music!

It was families like this that made America GREAT!!!!!

Bless his Heart! I remember the Andy Griffith stuff and the collaborations with rock bands back in the day The Dillards ranked supreme!!!! very down to earth!

Hey Rodney, I met you and your music in 1966 in San Diego when you were performing at the NTC (Naval Training Center). Story told was that you learned to play a harmonica with no hands while sitting in the outhouse. Part of the entertainment were the stories your group shared. Glad to see you are still around and having fun

Loved this. Especially the lady dancing.

Being a Farmer is like being a Mother. All responsibility and you're always on the clock. But you couldn't imagine a better life!

This man has an amazing story to tell and an American treasure.

The Dillard’s was the best part of the Andy Griffth show

Such a humble man. A great inspiration and influence for so many people

Hi Rodney. My name is Damien & I'm 25 & I've loved all your music especially Dooley from the Andy Griffith Show. It would be a complete honor to meet you some day. I hope you still perform live because I would love to buy tickets one day :)

Signing or talking, it's a pleasure listening to him.

Loved him and his brothers on The Andy Griffith Show ! 🧡

Rodney it was you an the Andy Griffith show that made me love Bluegrass music.

Hey, Rodney. Thank you for restoring the Dillard Farm. I think about my Grandpa Stacy's farm, where I grew up, all the time. So many great memories of you and your family sitting outside and picking beautiful bluegrass music. I remember your Father dancing and playing the fiddle, your Grandmother living in the trailer next to the house, and just a great overall family environment. The Dillard Farm is very special to me and I'm just a neighbor, lol. Thanks again!

Salt of the earth people like him are a dieing breed.....good clean music/skill...unlike today,s so called music.

Wanted to say I looked on KZfaq at the songs from Andy Griffith. The Dillards “the Darlings” doing the various songs. I’m in my 70’s. When I was a young child, remember one of my grandmother singing some of these songs She was certainly a country grandmother. Specially remember Ole Dan Tucker, Hole in the bottom of the sea. We live in rural central-southern Missouri

I'm from SW Missouri. Whenever I drive to St. Louis and we pass the Salem, MO. Exit I think of The Dillards.

Hi Rodney Dillard how are you doing? I been practicing on my banjo that I bought back in 2004 the Dillards did a Awsome job as the Darlings my hats off to Denver Pyle .To: the Dillard family I wish happy Holiday's and very bless Merry Christmas and God bless

Enjoyed your talents Rodney. Your a wholesome good hearted and down to earth fella. I wonder if you are the last of dying breed. A true good ole boy. My wife and I saw you down at silver dollar city lots of years ago. You talked to me like an old friend. I'll never forget thinking that this ole boy is a golden soul. God bless ya sir. I wish you and yours the best. George Goff.

Charlene and The Darlings/Dillards music makes me cry 😂

I love it. I've always heard him on Andy Griffith and this is the first time I've heard him speak.

hey Rodney, it's Billy Ray's nephew here, just wanted to say howdy, the performances I was able to attend in the 70s were highly inspirational for me, thank you for that,

Thanks for Coming to Oakboro Music Hall in 2007...Had A Lot of Fun

I love and watch the Andy Griffith show 360 nights a year. The Darlings were a big part of it. I guess Mountain Wedding and The Darlings are coming are 2 favorite but love them all. I have the complete DVD set (second time around) I go to bed pop the DVD in that sits 3 feet away Munch apples and go back in time. The Darlings jumping out of the Hotel window by rope is priceless. Amazing instrument and singing talent. Rodney is such a down to earth person wish I could meet you. Love Brother from Ontario Canada!!!

We always love the Dillard’s only Andy Griffith show. They were great and Steal are Keep up the good work young man

This is a great bluegrass channel. I’ve always loved the Dillard’s specially when they were on the angel Griffith show it’s too bad that some of them have passed away. They’re really great keep up the good work, Rodney.

I love the Dillard's and love their music. I'm always singing their songs daily. My kitties don't like my singing but oh well 😂

a great man

Lord loves a working 👨 man!!!!

Very interesting video!

God bless ya,Rodney!

Rodney speaks to my heart….truth.

Hi Rodney. I met you at Caravell Studios in Branson 1995-99. Great video.

The guy talking to Rodney about cutting wood is actually my uncle

Welcome home.

I think the baby looks like Rodney. Great grandson, I suppose 8-)

Hi Rodney, If you read this I know your the one man who can make it happen, You and the band playing with Maggie Peterson singing...there is a time.....on I Tunes. Please and thank you.

Andys' alter egos', lonesome roads, Will Stockdale, Andy Taylor...😁

does anyone know if he is going on tour anytime soon?

My name is Wilfred and I am from Canada...The City of Prince Albert in the province of Saskatchewan. Im 30 Years old and I am a huge fan of The Original members of The Dillards. I would like to know if the other three original members aside from Rodney Dillard are still alive today September 2016?

Keepn it real Rodney,that woman's dancing with them shorty shorts,is lookin good

They would've been a good opening for the Grateful Dead

Wish he'd mentioned Clarence White.

the Martin Guitar he's playing is probably worth twice as much as the Farm he's on.

4:50...... watch out you don't step on a Copperhead in that shack!! ( Looks like a chicken house to me- I grew up in that country, so I'm not hatin', I'm just sayin...)
