Folks this channel will end up being a repository for historic videos from my family's adventures in the music business through the Festival of the Bluegrass and the Spirit of the Suwannee Music Park. These are from tapes from various sources, including Fiddlin' Bob Wilson, Lou Aiken, commercial sources like our local TV stations and KET. I intend no copyright infringement. I want only to preserve these tapes for posterity as they are beginning to degrade.
Thank you for this. Playing albums is a wonderful thing; even better when remembering old festivals, concerts, and barroom gigs. To have a video to go with the music: stupendous!
My name is curt I’m terry(Turkey) hunts son and I’m trying to find all of these old videos and hear stories you guys could maybe share… I grew up around Marshall and Jim
Hi Curt. This video is on I made recently from my mother's vinyl collection. That's about all the knowledge I have, other than I am friends with Kevin Williamson, Jerry's son, who is my age.

My, how times have changed. But I really dont think she expected her career to blow up and that she would get to work with such a diverse group of musicians and singers.
It's hard to say exactly, but based on similar quality video, my best guess is 1986 or 87. The Lewis Family came every winter for about 10 years, starting in 1986.
Vince has done a great job singing together with Dawn Sears backup voice. Merle would be very proud of Vince singing this particular song as it is a wonderful song, sang from the heart. I LOVE Vince he has such a unique style voice. No one shall ever have a voice like Vince Gill. He is my favourite singer now that we have lost Waylon @ Dawn @ Merle.May they all always be resting in peace.All very sadly missed .But there great music lives on in my heart and soul. Godbless them Best wishes Elizabeth Scotland .Thank you again Vince Gill .❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
There have been several truly outstanding groups headed by an outstanding 5 string banjo but I truly have to admit Mr. JD Crowe headed the one very best! Thank you JD and this world misses the very best of the best: very likable Mr. JD Crowe…rest in The Lord, JD!
Thank you so much for sharing this! My most favorite part of it is when we get to meet the lady who was nice enough to share her angel with the rest of us. After hearing what Alison's mother sounds like, I can only imagine if her singing sounds like Alison too because to me, their speaking voices are exactly the same and Alison couldn't look any more like her mama either. (shaking my head with a smile) God bless you and my role model and her family always!!! Holly in east TN (a fan of Alison since 1994)
I heard the same thing. That certain ring in her Mom"s voice told me where Alison got her incredible pitch. Would love to hear them sing together. And yes mom is lovely.
my First real band jimmy was so talented and marshall was a good guitar player harmony was amazing Jeff was my friend I played Bass so many nights at Marshall's house waiting on his Mom to bring pizza after work she was The kindest lady ever.
Well, we found out that Alison is just another human being and she is following the "crowd"! She has left Bluegrass (hopefully not permanently) and her roots! At times she doesn't look well (at least to me) and doesn't appear to enjoy herself anymore!
She's not following a crowd. She, as well as her music, has evolved. She has expanded her musical catalog and discography. You can't expect a gifted musician and singer like Alison, who has worked with everybody from Yo Yo ma and Edger Meyer to Sting and Robert Plant, to stay in a box or any single genre. She's created her own lane by not limiting herself. That is why she is who she is. She's truly genreless.
