OK, you drop in on two body shop guys and they get out their instruments and just casually do the finest rendition of this old classic you've ever heard. Happens all the time...
Absolute "velvet" voice........they sure don't make 'em like this these days.......RIP Mr Wiley Morris.....and Mr Zeke Morris.I could listen all day to this.....looking for more....What a gem !!!Long old but NEVER forgotten......KenOrlando, FL
Such gentle down to earth people singing this old country song,enjoyed it so much,thank you Morris bros Earl and Randy Scruggs.It does not get any better
Can't believe I'd missed this vid - WOW and Wonderful. Yes, Wiley's voice is sweet, smooth and great - beautiful delivery of this song. Now Earl played with these boys for a little while when he was a teenager - before he left to go with Monroe & his Bluegrass Boys - so he knew 'em well.
Searched for On Top of Old Smokey, and found this gem on UA-cam. Good to see The Morris Brothers and hear an all time favorite country/folk song of mine.
OMG...soooooooo proud to have found this...I play Autoharp and sing old style songs like this and do this song for my Mom's Assisted Living facility...she just turned 90yrs old...LOVE THIS Ken Orlando, Fl
Jim Morrison of The Doors was also on public record as being adopted. He may have been fire one off for the hometeam during World War 2. Born Dec 8th 1943. He maybe one of George's 8 brothers children?

I am George F. Morris and E. Lois Bryant-Morris granddaughter, who was given up for adoption in a sealed adoption, while my biological father John P. Morris was serving in Vietnam. Zeke Morris is my Great Grandfather, if I memorized the geneology correctly. :). He looks just like my biological father, John aka "Indiana Jones." My son Devon Jay Millard on his father's side is of the Algonquin and Hopi people of Turtle Island, aka North America. His birthday, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13
Jamie Lynn Millard ( Last name from adoption) Morris ( Biological last name) I never had the pleasure of meeting my Grandparents George or Lois, they both passed away before I turned 18. Lois in 1972 George May 10 1987 ( might be off by a day or too.). I called my father John P. Morris for the first time, on the one year anniversary of my Grandfather's death.
It's possible...but personally I always tought that it's the fell of those last notes that make him nod. Earl seems to do it aswell. Surely enough anyhow the video was edited, so anything is possible.
Wiley's got one of the most amazing voices i've heard, awesome! btw, at around 3:34 randy seems to nod toward zeke to take a solo then the video cuts and wiley starts singing again. Do you think they edited the song before releasing it on the dvd?
Wow- Nice observation. I think you are right...a mandolin solo was there. I think David Hoffman edited it because this clip is from an hour log film he made about Earl Scruggs. It is an amazing film. This footage is among the best I have ever seen.
Since, I am not officially married according to the State of Wisconsin ( 1918) I have several 7 or so worthy inventions that could pay off the National Debit, however I need $690 per invention so Davison Design can write up the proposals and check the patents ect...
The Morris Brothers in white shirts they were huge in the 1930s Earl Scruggs on banjo and his son Randy on the guitarEarl Scruggs was real big in the 30s and 40s and 50s 60s and 70s and 80s and his son Randy amazing guitar player he had to be 14 or 15 in this video Randy Randy Scruggs still plays music to this day the name of his band is Earl's of Leicester which got his name from Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs
De ( of in French) Vincent I decided to spell my son's name with an O, so he would always have a ring to give to his wife. His birthday is 1-13 and the number 13 represents woman, so he is a one woman man.

you took the words right out of my mouth - velvet indeed...........
David Hoffman has these vids, I think he recorded them, on a road trip with Earl and Randy.
Wiley's voice has stuck with me since I first heard him sing this song a few years ago now. Heart stopping when he starts singing.
Zeke was my great uncle. I always loved to hear him talk about playing music. RIP Zeke and Wylie true mountain icons !!!
Keep on plucking
Zeke Morris is my grandpa, Camille (his daughter) is my mother, who's your mother?
@@alexisdown408 Dang. Was hoping to see a reply to this. Like a lost connections kinda deal.
Haven't thought of or heard this song for 70 years or so...thanks!

There's plenty, just gotta know where to look buddy. Music stores and radio aren't it
The most beautiful version of that song that I have ever heard. His voice on this song is so warm and gentle.
