typical day at a festival for jimmy. talking to fans and friends, getting the band ready backstage, talking to old friends, and layin it on the crowd. This is #4 or so of the 36 films about jimmy martin.
I remember watching Jimmy Martin at Bobby's riverbend bluegrass festival in Crum WV. It was in the late 80's through the early 90's Jimmy and his band performed there every year and I went there just to watch him. He was my favorite and still is, he didn't need the grand ole opry to be the greatest of all times. I really miss him, RIP Jimmy
i know you're right. it was Bill Anderson who kept him out of the Opry and no one else, so in my opinion he was really a part of the Opry, just not part of Anderson's Opry.
I love how at 3:13 the mandolin player just kicks off the song, they nail it and Jimmy Martin says after the song ends: "we might just ought to do that tonight!" they hadn't even worked on it! RIP Jimmy King of Bluegrass! enjoy!!!
@@mandolinman2006 he sure also knew a lot about sounds and how he wanted it to come out , really had a great feel for how other songs were played and concepts for the way bluegrass should be played and played in the utmost respectfully manner to the genre.
