@@joverby11 I was surprised to see that much coal being hauled out of here.

Most likely. I bet Don Reno probably tried it out at some point.

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the year, but the label is Grey Gull and I think it is Vernon Dalhart.

​@@JamieHoltBanjopretty sure that's Irving Kaufman. I've got a bunch of 78s of both Kaufman and Dalhart and that's not Dalhart.

I'll post a picture of the label if I can. It has been a long time since I listened.@@dennman6

I wanted to see him terribly bad and never got to. I've paid my respects at his final resting place though.

You can email me at jnholt22reg@gmail.com and we can discuss the possibility that I might sell it.

Not the original. It has been used on some of the dvd releases because of copyright issues I think, but I don’t know the whole story on that.

It's a Don reno Tune

Very cool for sure!

That's awesome! They were such a great band! Where was Bill Brown born and raised? Also, I see you are a beekeeper. That is something I've wanted to do. A lot of my family kept bees.

@@JamieHoltBanjo Hey Jamie, he was born in the hills and hollows of western NC, I believe in Barnardsville, if not really close. I know for a fact that's where my grandmother was raised. He came to Roanoke, VA in the late '30s to play music on WDBJ radio, and this is where he remained until he passed in '87. If you'd like some of the old band photos to go along with your records, I'd gladly email you over what I have! I try to play the guitar, mandolin, have messed a little with a banjo as a kid, played around with a fiddle a little bit. Beekeeping, if you have any questions, shoot me a message! Whereabouts do you live? So how in the world did you ever discover the band??

Do you have your records digitized?

was it perhaps a song using dtuners, like earls breakdown, randy lynn rag, or flint hill special?

@@Thebanjoberk I got the recording since I posted the comment. It is Reuben (In D tuning)

@@piekielrl oh ok

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Glad you enjoyed it!

Yes. I have all of their performance from that night. I probably should upload it all.

@@JamieHoltBanjo please do!!!

@@JamieHoltBanjo Yes, please do, I’d love to hear it

@@JamieHoltBanjo please do

@@JamieHoltBanjo Please do post their full final performance, you might be the only person outside of the Opry that has it and we'll probably never hear it from them

More on the way! Stay tuned!

Thanks buddy! I'm glad you enjoyed!

You are very welcome! I was very fortunate that the signal came in good that night. I always tried to listen to Mr. Monroe every weekend.

@@JamieHoltBanjo I’ve stayed up many Friday and Saturday night trying to turn the am radio just right so I could listen to him on the Opry.

@@billydonnagibson2237 I wish I could have met him.

I met him at Bean Blossom in 84 and saw him perform several times after that. I have a 5 year old son and he loves Bill Monroe.

That's an interesting book. I read it several years ago. I'm really interested in their music. I was born and raised in the same county as them.

My grandfather, Bill Brown, played lap steel, Dobro, Steel guitar, and guitar in this band in the '30s and '40s as well as some backing vocals.

Thank you! This is my best sounding phonograph! I'm looking forward to playing some Christmas music on it as we get closer to the season.

Neat! How are you related to them?

The man singing on this one is Buster Carter. He's buried at Delta and was grandpa Carter's cousin.

Anyone would be silly to turn down Josh Graves on dobro

@@rybreen1 i agree to dis-agree.

Bill Monroe was having a great time on this and it shows. He had the best fiddler there was, but you can tell he's enjoying having Uncle Josh on stage playing with them.

@@rybreen1 Man are you ever right about that!!

@@JamieHoltBanjo Josh was probably the only dobro player that Bill liked very much and if Bill didn't want him there he wouldn't be playing. Josh was THE master of the dobro!!! Not sure what bubba's problem is but he can keep it.

But, not faster !

ehh not really, nothing ever matched the popularity of flatt and scruggs. the earl scruggs revue did poorly in bluegrass circles (slightly better in folk circles) and the Nashville grass did well in bluegrass but neither ever regained the power and influence they had as they had under the "foggy mountain boys"

Lester was good and stayed good, and back to the roots again after the few last disaster LP's with Earl. I completely dislike what Scruggs went on to do, useless

I saw the Earl Scruggs Revue in about 1979 and they were absolutely terrible. They came out an hour late. Stevie sat at the piano and did nothing Randy looked like he was hopped up on drugs and rolled his head around and play the same hot lick over and over again. Earl got out a comb to use as a slide. One of the worst band performances I've ever seen

@@Elgatoviejo Ya love Earl, and he loved his boys, and we wish we had liked them together better, but they tired something new that did not last, was not popular...but they tried. We Earl fans came in with great expectations so we were doomed to disappoiintment, I guess. Earl had been such an innovator in the 40s & 50s.

I have listened to this song a lot. I can identify with it.
