That handshake was really something, I find it emotional even now. So glad i found Bluegrass back in the 1950s in the UK.

Del McCoury doesnt look much different now then when this was recorded in the 1980s im guessing. Still got that nice head of hair piled up high and of course his guitar playing is right on like it still is. Im a huge fan of Del and his sons too. They are certainly doing their part in keeping this great music alive for new generations. Ive never watched this documentary but im going to try and find it right now. Looks awesome. Long Live Bluegrass!!

Must be gettin' old and sentimental because I find it very moving when Bill offers his hand to Lester. I'm so happy they found reconciliation in time to play together again.

You might be gettin' old, but you'd have to have a heart of stone not to be moved by Bill's hand reaching out.

My Dad and Mr. Chubby were the best of friends. Mr. Chubby always slept in my Mom's recliner when he stayed over. My Dad was even larger than Mr. Chubby and also had the white Santa beard and moustache. They were eating in a Picadilly restaurant in Baton Rouge when, all of a sudden, they were surrounded by excited little children, thinking that they were Santa and one of his elves! They were both quite accustomed to this happening and, of course, gave the children a wonderful show! I'm only sorry that they aren't here with us now. Oh how I miss my Daddy!

I bought the documentary on Amazon recently and have watched it over and over. It's wonderful!!! I can't get enough of it...and great bluegrass in general. Wish I had gotten into it years ago, but better late than never. There's nothing as thrilling to listen to. I am an ole rocknrolla, and I finally got sick of it after 50 years. hmmm, take a look at bluegrass, and I fell head over heels in love with it. May it flourish forever!

Chubby Wise needs to quit lying saying he helped write the "Orange Blossom Special". He may have helped put it on the map..but he didn't have any part of writing it! Ervin Thomas Rouse wrote it & i know bc he came to my house when i was a child & played it with my father, who is his brother, & it was already copywrited at that time! My dad was a fiddler too & he played it all the time at home, & with Uncle Ervin when he came to visit us from Fla. Wise played it on the Grand Ol' Opry..but he had nothing to do with writing it!

That's my granddaddy. My Mama was his only child. My Grandma was a good Christian woman, she said he made up The Orange Blossom Special and she wouldn't lie. Irwin Rouse wrote the music because Granddaddy couldn't read or write music. Granddaddy had to go to work so Irwin got the copy wright in his name only. That's what my Grandma said happened and that is the truth.
@pamelanrobert Жыл бұрын
So true Becca. Uncle Chubby and Mr. Rouse wrote the song on a brown paper bag in Uncle Chubby's apartment in Jacksonville Fl. Chubby drove a taxi at the time and had to go to work so he told Mr. Rouse to take it and try and do something with it.

@sbarnhard This documentary is on youtube it's and hour and 30 minutes long. I've watched it before but I forget the name of it. I know it has Bill Monroe's name in the subject line. good luck
@williamshepherd6330 11 жыл бұрын
Chubby Wise and Lester Flatt were both charter members of Bill Monre's bluegrass boys. Lester left to pursue a career alongside Monroe's banjo picker, Earl Scruggs, while Chubby continued to excell as a fiddler, playing with Hank Snow. Bill was a man of tremendous pride and was deeply hurt when Flatt & Scruggs left and continued to use aspects of his musical style. This left him embittered so that he kept Flatt & Scruggs off the Opry for years. Bill made amends with them all as you can see here.
