A few years back, the great Texas fiddler Johnny Gimble had a minor stroke and ended up in the hospital. On the morning after his admission, the attending physician stopped by on his rounds and said, "Mr Gimble, I expect you to make a full recovery, but there will probably be some things you can't remember". Without missing a beat, Johnny said, "well, I hope to hell one of them is the Orange Blossom Special!"

3 guitar notes at the beginning played in a tempo that sounds like it is going to be kind of slow ---then it takes off like a rocket. Every time I listen to a Flatt and Scruggs (original band) song I am amazed. As a kid growing up in the 60's in SC my parents (who were wonderful, true country folk) used to watch them every Saturday on TV. I always thought they were kind of square. Now I appreciate their talent, innovation and love their music. I loved them on the Beverly Hillbillies too by the way.

It was on the Rolla, Missouri NPR Station on Saturday nights. (I knew that it was an older song). As I've gotten older, - now closer to 60- I fondly remember this tune.
