Rodney Dillard is an American treasure!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

Loved this. Especially the lady dancing.

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

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

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!

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 :)

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!

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

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,

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

Rodney speaks to my heart….truth.

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

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.

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

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!!!

a great man

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 😂

Very interesting video!

God bless ya,Rodney!

Lord loves a working 👨 man!!!!

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

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

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

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

Welcome home.

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?

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.

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...)
