    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...

    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

    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.

    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?

    • @lukerandall2109
      @lukerandall2109 4 роки тому

      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.
