Used to watch Flatt & Scruggs Martha White show on Sat afternoons with my dad. He was a super picker on his old Gibson jumbo. Sometimes he played along. That coupled with watching old black & white Friday night Gillette boxing with him was priceless, wonderful memories.

Growing up in the 70's & 80's I was a rock/heavy metal guy. Now in my 60's, I find myself listening to this genre a lot more lately. Guess it's more my speed. 😅

When Earl Scruggs threw that guitar up to meet his ear we knew serious things were happening. His whole soul was going into his music at that point. It was clear just how important Earl was in completing the "Gang style singing"

Pickinbuddy They’re some of the greatest bluegrass musicians ever some 70 years later. They are bluegrass standards. Every musician that plays bluegrass, is measured by these two groups past, present and future. Just as any bluegrass band that formed in that era, they all started with the grandfather of bluegrass “Bill Monroe”. The music that represented the people that listen to them and there music.

Dad, Josh and Oswald became close friends. Every once in a while I'll catch a vision...Oswald, Josh and dad pickin around the throne of the Master, I cant wait to see my dad...standing, no wheelchair to hold him down....what a day of shouting it's gonna be...I figure I'll grab him by the hand and run a while...and I'll hug his neck...and we will join in the new song that even the angels cant sing....and I'll hear my daddy play again...

@slowpoke7759 3 ай бұрын

Brown may have been an addition to Flatt and Scruggs but he is not singing in this song. Earl Scruggs playing the guitar with his famous three finger style, Curly Sekler on mandolin, Jake on the dog-house bass, Paul Warren fiddle, Lester Flatt on the guitar, then the camera swung over to catch Josh Graves on the dobro. Yes I am getting old as well. The sound and music just simply cannot be matched with the so-called musicians of today. The sound and music of the cobweb corner will always be the best.

@russharbaugh2028 7 жыл бұрын

thanks for uploading this................Earl Scruggs was a world class finger pickin' guitar player, something that prior to the internet I didn't know. These guys............every one of them, are fine musicians. Lester Flatt's singing grows on you, he doesn't ever to seem to attempt anything that is beyond him, perhaps why he was so good at what he did attempt. The net also makes Lester's duets with Mac Wiseman available for those not fortunate enough to have seen them live, or own their vinyls. I feel sorry for the 3 people that gave this a thumbs down, the tune is remarkable for the quality of both the guitar and the dobro if nothing else.

@turnstyles7485 5 жыл бұрын

While the overall performance was good, Lester was flat on the high notes of "sing". Perhaps that is why some gave a thumbs down. Some folks seem to think being "country" excuses singing flat. But when you are allowed to start below the note and slide up to it, there is no excuse for a professional singer not to slide all the way up to the proper note. That practice is just laziness.

@@packingten Such bitterness is sad and unnecessary. I watched the video because I am an avid fan of Flatt and Scruggs. But that doesn't mean I don't notice when they had a performance that was not up to their usual standards. My original comment was in response to someone else wondering why some people had hit the thumbs down. I would say the same thing about any professional singer of any era or style. On the whole contemporary artists tend to be more lazy about singing in tune than those of the past, because they can use auto tune technology to make their records sound in tune.

My favorite group of all time. I've seen them perform at least a dozen times in my life; once at Verona Lake Ranch here in 1962, where my uncle Brenton played with them; once in Creswell, Oregon, once in San Diego at the big auditorium, but mostly in smaller gigs. The last time was at the Bluegrass Festival in Lexington, KY in the mid-1980s, when Brenton was brought on a prison bus from the Arizona State Penitentiary to perform with them. He was brought in leg irons (on a one-legged man!) on a big gray prison bus; was hustled on and off the stage by armed guards, and we couldn't visit with him; but he'd fought in court for the privilege of appearing, and won, as he always did.
