My great grandparents lived on Maple Street in Staunton, VA when I was growing up-near where Don and Harold Reid grew up- Lord does this video ever bring back some memories- the old days were the best!!!!
Yes, but on a different street. They even changed out the street signs. The story is a man who lived on this street became quite confused when headed home.
Both my parents were born in '55. But I was born and raised in Staunton... So this brings back many memories (mine and theirs) when I watch this video. The girl in the Pink prom dress was a cheerleader of my mom's (Harold's daughter) when they made this video. She gave us an advanced copy cassette. We wore it out!
I've listened to the Statler Brothers since I was born. Im now 21 and though I may physically be part of this generation, my music tastes are of a beautiful time now gone. I just listened to Maple Street Memories for the hundredth time and cried my heart out. Words can not describe my deep admiration for you boys nor explain my joy when I hear your songs. As long as I'm alive your songs will live on in my heart!
I saw where Harold Reid passed away yesterday after a long battle with kidney failure. That just breaks my heart :( I'm a die hard Statler Brothers fan. I started listening to them in the early 70,s when I was only 16 years old. I finally....just recently, purchased their farewell tour DVD and CD. Harold was a card! Loved his clean, comedy skits!! Fly high Harold, you will be missed by so many!!!! :(
I grew up right there on this street. I can still smell the food cookin in the back yard on the 4th of july and getting all excited that morning and all of us running down to see the parade and hanging out in the park with the thousands of people. Sure brings back some really REALLY good times.....
Great memories to last a lifetime. I am a little jealous. I was born in a small town in Southwest Va. but raised in Indianapolis. Had cement under my feet most of my life but longed for those hills. Where neighbors were friends, kids were safe, life was simple & kind.
Don't you wonder how people that never met you can reach into your soul with their music. The gift that these men gave us will bring join for generations. Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
Beautiful almost beyond words. These are the kind of singers and songs that made country music great. Maple Street Memories is extra special. Millions of miles removed from the rubbish that passes as "country" today. This is a truly haunting song from the wonderful Statler Brothers. High Five from Ireland....!
@@marianoleonelszamudhio3647 it was filmed on Allegheny Ave in Staunton VA 24401 (USA). The sign said Maple, but they just switched the street signs (we have a different Maple St in Staunton). The grown teenage daughter with the big pink dress is Harold Reid's youngest daughter Kasey. She was one of my mom's cheerleaders and was actually in high school when this filmed. The older lady (grandma in blue) I believe was Harold and Don's Mom. There were other friends and family in the video, but I was 7 when they filmed it, so I don't know for sure. I just know I've been down that street plenty. Watching this is like going back home because I was born and raised there. I babysat Jimmy's kids a few times, my brother played ball with Jimmy's son & Phil's grandson. Hope this helps.
Reminds me of my high school sweetheart. We dated all senior year and ended up going to different colleges. We chose not to have a long distance relationship. She's married with kids now. I'm happy for her. Sometimes I think what if, but you can't change the past.
I remember the first time I heard them on the radio. The harmony was amazing. I got to see them live in Greenville, SC. One of the best evenings of my life.
never be another group like these guys.. what talent they had. saw them live once and they put on one hell of a show... today .. there are not many performers of the caliber of these guys.. back in the day
This brings back all of the happy memories of my life in Eufaula, Alabama. I walked several miles to and from school without any worries. People knew each other and we were always safe. Anyone taking a vacation, please visit Eufaula and be sure to see the tree that owns it self and treasure the plaque that states; "Poems are made by fools like me, but only God can make a tree". I love the antebellum homes the streets where we played in the huge grass areas that divided the directions of travel. Eufaula is one of the most beautiful cities in the South. I wish I was still there and visiting my school mates.
i grew up in a small town, it wasn't till i was in my second year of High School before we started to lock house and cars. you could ride or walk all over town with no fear. you were not afraid to Hitch hike if you had to or pick someone up. Oh to go back to that time
@Charles Taylor , don't make it political, I'm a liberal and not full of hate. Hate knows no bounds it comes in all colors, religions, nationalities and political beliefs.
I was born in1989 I love the old songs and old tractors and the way things used to be I always say I was born in the wrong year but sure glad I was born in the 80s
@@billiejo3886 I'm guessing folks aren't mentioning him because he's been gone so long.....just not thinking of him either because he's not in this video?
It never ends, the wonderful memories the statler brothers evoke. They remind us of a time when we all were young and happy. Can today's youth ever look back on times like that? Sadly, I think not they are seems so angry and involved in Facebook, what a pity for them and 4 us who realize what they will never have
This is one of my favorite Statler Brothers songs and video... We went to the street where this video was made several years ago after going to their old school they bought and turned into the Statler Brothers museum .. Greatest singing group ever..
I've listened to this song over and over and over and it still saddens me that the two of them didn't end up together. Perhaps because I let my "Maple Street Memory" get away and although I have a wonderful wife, kids and grandkids, I often think of the one I let go.
Grew up listening to these boys singing in the living room on tv. Enjoyed the songs. I go back just thinking about those wonderful days. Good days, round family.
I lived on Greenville Ave. in Staunton, Virginia about 25 years ago. I would come out of The Knitting Corner see Jimmy or Harold and Don. Then on the 4th of July go to to the park for their concert. What great memories I have of those days.
I was born long after this song I believe, now I'm seventeen years old boy that usually listen to the today's music but somehow no songs ever beat my love to country and folks song and this song is one of them who wont my heart.
I think this song touches a lot of people because they have a "Maple Street Memory" of one that got away. Someone you thought was "the one" and you would spend the rest of your life with them. But the stars did not align, nor did the fates allow. And you went your separate ways. My wife and I have been together almost twenty years, and we have a great life together. But there is someone from my early life who I occasionally think of and hope that her life has been a good one and that she is happy.
There was a time I had girlfriend like that. School; military service, time, and distance kept us from being together. I ran into her 20 something years after the fact, she acted like we never knew one another.
Reminds me of my military days and a girl I used to skate with on Friday and Saturday night in Columbia, SC, She lived on Maple St., she went to Dreher H.S., I was stationed at Bragg but would go to Columbia on weekends, beautiful song brings back great memories, Great fan of the Statlers, greatest quartet I have ever heard.
rock definitely died on the eighties... what we got now is old bands that still release new albums... there are actually real good New bands nowadays.. but just a few
My dad and three aunts grew up on a Maple St during the 1920s and 30s in Nebraska. They lived next door to their aunt, uncle, and cousins. If they were still with us I'm sure this song would bring out a lot of memories.
The song brings back memories of living in a quaint, small to medium sized town where the living seemed to be cozy and there was a great deal of fellowship and camaraderie from living in such a community. Many of the homes then had character in spades; inside as well as outside. Compare that to the suburbs of the 1950s to today and you'll see a distinct difference! I can appreciate why watching such a video could trigger an emotional response!
This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Im a 23yr old brazilian dude, and to this day i thank GTA San andreas for having introduced me to this group. became one of my favorite bands ever.
What a beautiful video. Growing up in the late 50's and early 60's in a small town, I can really relate to this video. It always brings back some wonderful and sad memories that will usually bring a tear or two to my eyes.
I've never heard this before but I love it. The statler Brothers were in a leag of their own with their harmoney and ability to sing truly relatable, touching, memory invoking songs. No one now is even remotely close and few could ever come close.
I thought I had heard all their songs by now. I started listening to the Statlers when I was around 7 or 8 and I am almost 51 now ,they were my Dads favorite group. We would ride around in his old Chevy step side truck with the Statlers playing on the 8 track tape deck . I knew where and when my favorite songs were starting no matter what channel happened to be playing at the time. I would recognize the line and start clicking to the channel where my song was starting. I love everything they ever sang but I think This bed of Roses is my all time favorite. I love to hear their “ODE TO JOHNNY CASH “ I believe it’s called “PAID BY CASH “ .Nobody can sing like Don I memorized every inflection in his voice on my favorite songs . God rest your souls Harold and Lew , I believe Lew was their tenor before Jimmy. I was seriously devastated to hear about Harold though.
I lived at 111 Maple st. In Dardanelle Arkansas off and on from 1970-1986..theres never been a better place to live!! Thank You Statler Brothers for remembering that for us all!!
Redding St in High Point, NC for mine. Her name was Elizabeth, another great Statler Brothers song. My Aunt & Uncle lived not far from where this video was made, Alleghany Ave in Staunton, VA.
I finally married my "Maple St Memory" 28 years later. It's been thirteen years now, and not only is she my wife, she's my best friend and the best thing that ever happened to me...........twice!
I’m almost 83 years old now and still I cry softly when I heart this song. I think on my youth It is over now, my life is almost over. Only my memories are still there. O.m.g. I miss my youth times!!
I grew up the Statler Brother`s . My Mom, Grandma, listened to them. I still go back to my youth and listen to the Statler Brother`s , what really good memories I have. Love you Mom, Grandma.
I was raised in one of the greatest small towns in the country - Jacksonville, Alabama. Many of us consider it our own “Mayberry” and this song reminds me of the wonderful memories of those days.
Hupf Florence not where I live at. Out in the country. There’s a maple tree, oak tree, pine tree and,etc but you are right, all towns have a Maple Tree Street. A great comeback.
GOT TO SEE THE STATLER BROS IN CONCERT IN 1970 DURING THE JOHNNY CASH CONCERT I WENT TO INSTEAD OF MY SR PROM. I STARTED BUYING EVERY ALBUM I COULD ESPICALLY LOVE THER GHOSPL ALBUM
I didn't marry my Maple Street memories and now I'm glad I didn't because I met a girl from five blocks away and it's now been 63 years. Great song though....
Great to hear. I was engaged to my Maple Street memory but she passed away before we could be married. All these years later, I still think of her fondly.
I think this song gives us the feel of what life once was when growing up someplace. I'm only 47, but so many memories I have of where I grew up still flow through my mind to this day
I grew up in Everett, MA which back in the 60's was a true small town. I can relate to this song whenever I go home. It's not as small anymore, they may even get a Casino, but the memories remain. Love the Statlers.
Remember when country music was great?
Always in our hearts ❤
Oh Elizabeth makes me cry
I'm a 73 year old tough guy, but can't hold back the tears over this one. It's too personal I guess.
GOD BLESS YOU
Does anyone else cry over this song? Other groups sing songs. The Statlers sang about our lives.
me too
Yes me even now
Plus Ruth meek
Almost every time I hear it.
Yes, I cry
Statler Brothers delivered warm hearted honest country music and they remain unmatched in quality!
My great grandparents lived on Maple Street in Staunton, VA when I was growing up-near where Don and Harold Reid grew up- Lord does this video ever bring back some memories- the old days were the best!!!!

Yes, but on a different street. They even changed out the street signs. The story is a man who lived on this street became quite confused when headed home.
I would love to visit Maple street
Chris from England
@@williamsonmunier yes correct!! It was filmed on Allegheny and Landcaster Avenues. Right near Gypsy Hill Park.
Every boy in every town in country has dreams of their very own Maple Street.
Dan Blather y’all ain’t sh-ting. I do.
I love your screen name. It's perfectly disrespectful.

Really, who didn't have a Maple Street they'd like to go back down
@@marianoleonelzamudio8734 Staunton VA. Their hometown (and mine). It was a big deal when they filmed it.
When you get old all you have left is your memories
So true
RIP Harold Ried. Memories today of the soundtrack of my life.
I was born in 57. This song captures small town life.
Both my parents were born in '55. But I was born and raised in Staunton... So this brings back many memories (mine and theirs) when I watch this video.

I will miss him but glad his suffering is over and he is in the arms of Jesus. Praise the Lord.

This put a lump n my throat. Those were beautiful days .. thank you Statlers for reminding us of those wonderful days ❤️❤️🙏🙏
Maple Street Memories is a song that has meaning to all of us. I think we have memories,that takes a long time to get over
I just turned 18 and this song hits me harder, not a dry eye whenever I listen to this tearjerker. So nostalgic, just isn't like it once was.
"...and you took my breath away". One of greatest lines ever in a song.
I loved the Statler Brothers 💕 I still listen .. real country never dies.
Hi dear how are you doing over there ?
I still listen also!!! They are my FAVORITE group🥰! There will never ever be an other group that will capture my heart!😍
Your first love a hard thing to forget .
Sorry for your loss hope all is we'll now
That's the truth. Shes gone now but it lasted until Jr. High
Where has time gone
Still listening , April 27. 2022...never gets old.

My favorite visual is the guy cutting his lawn. Like the hat. Really like the antique mower. LOVE THOSE BLACK SOCKS!
Mine is the cute kid asleep with teddy bear!! (it's me btw...not a pedo!)
Start my day by crying my eyes out! Statlers touch that chord in my heart that nobody else can!
Back when music was good.
Well here Iam again . Her memory woke me up ! She's gone on to Heaven . But very much still alive in my mind !

Love song for sure sent it mom 85 yrs old she loved it brought so memories for her❤
I'm not even American, but I like those old country songs

The young lady in the prom dress is Kasey Reid, daughter of Harold (bass singer) who is in the striped white yellow and blue shirt in the video.
I can't understand how such a wonderful song and video has such a low view count.
I love this son, but it breaks my heart at the same time!

What a fantastic song, brings back so many memories!!!!!

What a sweet video and song! My Statlers will always be #1!
Timeless work of art that generation after generation can apply to their lives.
Hello dear how are you doing over there 😊 ?
My dad and three aunts grew up on a Maple St during the 1920s and 30s in Nebraska. They lived next door to their aunt, uncle, and cousins. If they were still with us I'm sure this song would bring out a lot of memories.
The Statler Brothers: singing of Americana, that is Either already gone? Or is fading so Rapidly? That We've Failed too Realize it?
ffirst time i have heard this, tears in both eyes
The song brings back memories of living in a quaint, small to medium sized town where the living seemed to be cozy and there was a great deal of fellowship and camaraderie from living in such a community.

yes, every time i hear it
Just love so much of the time I miss
This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Im a 23yr old brazilian dude, and to this day i thank GTA San andreas for having introduced me to this group. became one of my favorite bands ever.
this is my favorite video of all
The before and after of the street alone proves the '50s at least looked better.
GOD bless the Statler Brothers.
What a beautiful video. Growing up in the late 50's and early 60's in a small town, I can really relate to this video. It always brings back some wonderful and sad memories that will usually bring a tear or two to my eyes.

I lived at 111 Maple st. In Dardanelle Arkansas off and on from 1970-1986..theres never been a better place to live!! Thank You Statler Brothers for remembering that for us all!!
i remember those days ! back then neighbors would help each other, now all they want to do is fight with each other !
+Lloyd Dailey I'm sure nit everyone does but 1 thing that's true a lit people today don't know their neighbors.
or shoot each other

I’ve never heard this song! Goosebumps!!
Hey dear how are you doing over there ?
Very Beaurifull Song Amen 🙏👏🙌🙌💕💕💕
Wonderful,,song, by a wonderful group
We all had a "Maple Street" to remember!
My"Maple Street" was Wilmore Drive in Charlotte, N.C. Good, happy memories
Redding St in High Point, NC for mine. Her name was Elizabeth, another great Statler Brothers song. My Aunt & Uncle lived not far from where this video was made, Alleghany Ave in Staunton, VA.
I finally married my "Maple St Memory" 28 years later. It's been thirteen years now, and not only is she my wife, she's my best friend and the best thing that ever happened to me...........twice!
Not all... My memories involve no street, just the fun times I had growing up in the Australian outback with only myself for company...
Mine was brachport New York still love that village
Growing up in small town USA. Wonderful.
"Maple Street" or not, there's always those memories.
I’m almost 83 years old now and still I cry softly when I heart this song. I think on my youth It is over now, my life is almost over. Only my memories are still there. O.m.g. I miss my youth times!!
I love The Statlers. How have I never heard this fantastic tune until today?
I grew up the Statler Brother`s . My Mom, Grandma, listened to them. I still go back to my youth and listen to the Statler Brother`s , what really good memories I have. Love you Mom, Grandma.
Happy birthday to Margaret hope you have many more
Always makes me cry
I was raised in one of the greatest small towns in the country - Jacksonville, Alabama. Many of us consider it our own “Mayberry” and this song reminds me of the wonderful memories of those days.
Edward Beck , reminds me of my hometown Goshen, NY.
What a great song, I sure like me it brings back memories, whether there was a Maple Street or not.

I didn't marry my Maple Street memories and now I'm glad I didn't because I met a girl from five blocks away and it's now been 63 years. Great song though....
Great to hear. I was engaged to my Maple Street memory but she passed away before we could be married. All these years later, I still think of her fondly.
Great song and the marvelous Statler Brothers!
This one got me from the get-go. I grew up on Maple Street. A little town in Maryland just outside of D.C.
I think this song gives us the feel of what life once was when growing up someplace. I'm only 47, but so many memories I have of where I grew up still flow through my mind to this day
I grew up in Everett, MA which back in the 60's was a true small town. I can relate to this song whenever I go home. It's not as small anymore, they may even get a Casino, but the memories remain. Love the Statlers.
The Statler's are the number one group in my opinion
Such a great group!!
THIS SONG TAKE ME BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD, THAT WAY I LOVE THIS SONG.
