This is so cool! Loretta Lynn on the very first Hee Haw show. Not only was Loretta there first guest but she made more guest spots on the show than any other artist. She also co-hosted more than any other artist.

The Queen of country music Miss Loretta will always live through her music

Rest In Peace Loretta

Hee Haw had them all. The Queen is mad!

I love me some Miss Loretta..My grandpa's Wilson's were from Kentucky and they married into the Webb's and Smiths..She and I share a direct Webb ancestor..Maybe that's why Grandpa thought Miss Loretta Lynn was the best old Country singer ever..He was mostly a strict bluegrass old time music man but he did like the old singers on the Grand Ole Opry like Kitty Wells and Loretta Lynn..I listen to these "so called" Country Music singers today..As far as the women like Kitty, Patsy, Loretta, Dolly..These women could sing! In playing the violin or fiddle music we use what is called vibrato which when playing a note we rock our fingers back and forth which adds a quiver sound and make that note sweeter...The old singers had that down pat..These today Country singers "Talk sing" more about telling a story in a twangy voice which you can tell their voices are not much in talent..Alot of this younger generation of singers didn't live as country folk live..They knew nothing of the Carter family, bluegrass style of songs with the high haunting mellow dees of our Celtic ancestors..Who cares about hearing about "Donkey Donk.." And only a few bands now even sing anything remotely sounding like country music ..It's sung by kids who never used an outhouse, never have raised their own chickens, or milk cows..Ate food cooked from homemade hog lard..And on and on and on..They grow up with parents that may remember picking cotton and the old ways but they were teenagers riding in their big trucks, rebel flags, camouflage and hunting for pure trophy and sport..Listening to Johnny Cash on a radio at a tailgate party at night, drinking beer, mudding, four wheel riding all that..They call themselves redneck but we called ourselves "Country.." Farm Folk..When Loretta talks about remembering the well where I drew water..Those kids have no idea about drawing water, coon hunting..And it's that generation that has took over the Country Music.. There is a point when bluegrass gets so fast and fancy it doesn't sound like bluegrass anymore .Same way with Country..

I like her dress. My mom used to wear her hair that way.

RIP Loretty!

This song is BOTH, FUNNY and ON THE "RIGHT PATH", a very funny truth, to me. As most truth is, if you really think about it. As well as being inarguable, except to the truly deceitful, too. "There ain't no pipe that can settle this fight."

You tell him Loretta!!!

Amazingly this was the premiere episode of HEE HAW… she was the first guest. Date was 6/15/1959

Wow how did she think that was ok? Even in those times. Just wow
