Great!

Have you ever seen the devil uncle Joe???

Really cool to hear a bit of a backstory on these songs and this version of “Train 45” is quite the treat

Good stuff. Jim Caudill

I wanted to hear how Sally Ann got started with the washtub

Great fiddling. Never heard of him but he’s great

A rare glimpse into a world we have almost lost.

I love this tune. Thank you for sharing these old Wade Ward tunes. I try to learn as much as I can from his playing style.

Untouchable

loved it

That guitar rings like a bell. And seems like there was just one mic for E.C. Love these two.

Amazing, never knew footage existed for this.

I love EC and Orna. Thank you for sharing this.👍🏻

Great opportunity to see and her E C & Orna on film at last. Many many thanks,

Just sitting there and focusing on the song - unpretentious und humble. And what great harmony. You rarely find them like that anymore.

There's Jimmy Riddle on piano!

Hus was my great grandfather. So proud of him!

Hus was my great grandfather. So proud of him!

Aunt Sue an Uncle Hick were better people than even their playing! Just wanted to share that!

Very wonderfull... thank you ...

Is this still an active group? The photo looks like the 70's.

They were purest in the strictest sense. Wish they were others but i havent found any not even good imitators

Any clue who the banjo player is?

Love it😊

This is one of the most amazing things I've ever seen on KZfaq. Man, what a fascinating. window into mountain culture. As beautiful as the music is, I love even more to listen to Ola Belle talk. This is such a blessing

I ran into Mr. Curly several times, and always enjoyed his description of the folks on the balcony at the Opry as being "sitting on that shelf".

I saw him along with Skiter Davis and Del Reeves in Columbus , Georgia in 1966 when i was stationed in Fort Benning . It was a great show .

Just great, can't sit still 😊

That's my great uncle!

That's my great uncle!

RIP Jim Varney. Thank you for being a big part of a great childhood.

The 'southpaw' short scale banjo player here is Englishman Dave Wright a well known fiddler at the time at the London old time sessions.

never be another Enoch

Similar to a WV version called "Forked Horn Deer" by Leland Hall.

Thanks, keep'em comin !!

That put a big twinkle in my eyes and wiped away the worry for a while.

I love that version! Has lots of nice "twiddly bits" !!

I love this!! So great to hear live audio of Wade👍🏻

They don't have them like that anymore. How sad. We sure don't get that kind of music in Germany very often. Thanks a lot.

Raw Humanity

I’m related to them.

This is truly excellent, are there more recordings by Fortner around?

Just GREAT!!!!
