After our son graduated basic training in Fort Lenord Wood, Missouri we as a family stopped in Nashville. Took the kids to the Rhyman. What a treasure. Thank you Marty Stuart. So glad it's still around for future generations. History matters.
Marty Stuart is the owner of a fine mind. His eloquence serves Country Music and Bluegrass in a profound way. A national treasure. Oh...he's a pretty fine musician,too!
Well. As great a musician, singer and performer as Marty Stuart is, the best thing about him is that he is a first-class person and a child of God. Those things are even better ...
Watching all 4 of these with Marty and you, I am reminded of how history was passed along from elders to the next generation long before there was the written or the recorded word. You both are treasures of American music for what you are doing to preserve the history to build upon the future.
During my days with T. Graham Brown I had the privilege to play the Ryman probably thirty times in all. Magical memories.I was a lucky man indeed. ❤️🎸❤️ And again, so glad I got to spend an afternoon with Marty back in the day. Thanks for doing this video!
Just as Ken Burns " Country Music " is part of the American Curriculum, as is Marty , You Joe are just as an important part , this will inform generations to come. I am so grateful you take the time to present these !!! You sir have gone from GOLD to PLATINUM. I just rewatched Country Music,,,,,there is so much information that I find it impossible to retain all that is there in one viewing,the same I find your videos, I often have to watch them over again. To any that have not been to Nashville,,,,, A stop at the Ryman is a must,,,, and just as important is a trip to The Musicians Hall of Fame,,,,there is more great artifacts than the rock museum in Cleveland,,,,,again more than you can retain,,,,I will be back there again ,,,,,soon,,,,, Thanks Joe,,,,you da man !!!!
So good that the Ryman was saved. I didn’t know that Marty Stuart was involoved in that, but I’m not surprised. As a musician myself, I see his love for music in his face and his voice when he performs and whenever he speaks. It’s true.
Very proud of Marty, how he values history, and the legacy he is building. I have fond memories of the Ellis Theater growing up in Philadelphia back in the 50's and 60's. Can't wait to visit his Congress when it opens.
Until seeing these interviews, I had no idea that Marty was such a deep thinker or that he was so profoundly dedicated or interested in preserving history, culture, or the arts. Moreover, I didn’t know that he was genuinely warm and loyal. For the record, I’m not sure that I’d ever seen him interviewed before. My awareness of him was pretty much limited to seeing him on stage performing during one broadcast or another. He really surprised me! He truly seems to be at peace and like a man who is sharply tuned into what really matters. Really nice interview Joe! Now I’ll be up late searching for and listening to MS recordings. It’s already close to 10 PM, I better get moving!
Marty is always a fascinating interview. Super class act with a pure love of tradition and history. This country needs more people like him. As always a superb interview by Joe.
Joe, that was a fantastic series of interviews with Marty! Never knew that he was so involved with the Ken Burns Documentary about Country Music. It's great that both of you are passing down a tradition that hopefully will last well into the distant future! Thanks for these interviews. Be well & stay safe.......... 👍👍😉😉
As a young married couple we stopped in Nashville, & parked on the street outside the Ryman; walked up to the side door which opened for us. We went inside & enjoyed just looking at the beauty of the old building. This was probably about 1964 or so. I know one couldn't do that today, but it is a fun thing for us to look back on after 60 years of marriage!
I'm a big blues/jazz/rockabilly fan in Australia and until i watched ken burns' Country Music this week on TV, i had never even heard of Marty Stuart. Now I've found a great new artist and guitar player to check out. Marty has the music in his soul. Also, this is a great interview to add to the Ken Burns effect. As Marty says, it brings in new people.
Watching your interviews with Marty got me hooked on him. He is such a knowledgeable person and has such a calmness about him. Then when I watch him play, he and his band members are simply amazing. His command of the guitar is surreal. Thanks, Joe for "showing me the light" of this wonderful person and performer. It opened a new path of music excellence for me. And Marty, thank you so much for all your contributions to not only country music but maintaining it for future generations.
When I watched one of the episodes of country music on PBS I enjoyed watching Marty talk about the first time he saw his wife something to the effect of ‘I saw her and I thought she is the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen…I’m going to marry her one day…and I did.’ Vince Gill had a moment also that he carries with him from when he first got to work with his wife something like ‘we were working together and I walked into the room and she smiled at me and I haven’t been the same since.” It’s so sweet and delicate of these men to share! I’d love to find a southern guy like that!! I guess it doesn’t help that I don’t live in the south.
“Country Music” ... I’ve watched it twice now and it had me wondering how Marty was doing. Glad to see he is doing well and so is the Country Music Congress. Thanks for interviewing him, Joe! (Maybe you can get Connie to come with him next time!)
i have this recurring fantasy / dream that when i go down to the wed nite open mic jam session the house band is marty & the superls and we rip through 4 songs... big river mama tried dark hollow & friend of the devil... thanks joe for all that you do it's a great series....
Such a great, great series. You both play off each other so well. Thanks for telling the story of the Ryman. No trip to Nashville would be complete without seeing a show there. Now I must come to the Musicians Hall of Fame on my next visit. Ken Burns couldn't do Country Music without Marty Stuart pointing the way to the most important stories. That's how I feel about these interviews.
Thanks for this wonderful series with the talented Marty Stuart. With this being the anniversary of one of the saddest days in music history, I am reminded of a story about Marty coming here to Memphis in 1985 to be a part of the Class of 55 recording. As the story goes, he caught a flight out of town with Rick Nelson. They talked about life on the road and somehow got on the topic of the Buddy Holly plane crash and Rick made the comment about being a awful way to die. So ironic if true. Thanks again for great series on Marty.
One word, Joe..............EXCELLENT! You know I'm a big cheerleader of The Musicians Hall of Fame and Museum here in Ohio....Anyone I know who travels to Nashville, always gets your museum first on the list of places to see in Nashville!
This 4 part interview is so good Joe, but you might have shot yourself in the foot. Can't really go anywhere but down from here it seems. Thank you sir, very much appreciated
Jerry, thanks for watching. I’m really glad you enjoyed it. Yes.... Marty is something else. He is the keeper of the flame for true Country Music. He reminds me of my good friend Steve Lukather. Steve respects those who came before him even though he can play circles around most of them now he treated them like royalty when they meet or their names are mentioned. Marty is the same. Thanks again for watching. I hope we can continue to bring interesting interviews to you. Sincerely, Joe
You have quite an impressive body of work here. I’ve now watched all the videos and I’ve learned so much. As a teenager, my father wanted me to learn to play the piano and though I learned to read music, I was totally tone-deaf and could only play notes, never music. I would like to share a few comments and thoughts about the MHOF channel. To properly watch a 30-minute interview could easily take me an hour and thirty minutes, mainly because I didn’t know the vocabulary of the music language. I often had to look up words to find out what was being discussed. And sometimes your guest(s) would mention a particular song, or a riff, or maybe some “mistake” that became part of music history. I listened to a lot of good music, often with a new respect for the sound. I know that you have no control over the closed-caption, but when I didn’t understand a phrase I would go to the CC and these were often funnier than anything you were discussing - my guess is the person creating the closed-caption didn’t understand any more about it than I did! And then there were times where I felt a visual recognition of people who I could not possibly have known - at least after watched hours of the same videos and asking several friends, it finally came to me who I was confusing with Shelby Singleton. One last question, how likely is it that someone would actually see Joe Chambers on a visit to the MHOF? Thanks again for the great work.
Joe, awesome interview series! And thanks too you and Marty for preserving our musical history! Y’all’s hard work and determination will never be forgotten! Looking forward to more great guests!💫
Joe, just got a chance to watch another video with Marty Stuart! What a great interview and perspective from Marty. Thoroughly enjoyable, entertaining and a whole lot of history! Nuttin' mo' better.
I've enjoyed this 4 part series probably more than anything I've watched regarding music in decades. The absolute love and respect you and Marty have for the history...and it's importance for future generations makes an old man proud. Thank you for all you've done, and for what you've yet to do. It'll be remembered. Now that's a legacy!
Great Memories Joe. Thanks For having Marty on your program and Thank you and Marty for your preservation of All Music. We've lost to Many Historical Buildings of all Types as well as losing many great Musicians of all types!
Loved watching all 4 of these with Marty and you. Now I'm going to look into your youtube vault for more to watch. Thanks so much for doing these, teaching us cool stuff and inspiring us all. I had just started watching the Ken Burns country all over again so it was great to see how Marty played a part in it.
Great interview Joe...TY. You Guys and Gals have such a love and devotion to the arts...wish I had been smitten early on. My nieces and nephews are carrying the next wave and traditions now in Nashville. May be quiet now but Covid wont last forever. 2022 world tours and new material will fill the arenas. See you at the MHAF&M soon.
During the 1950s, Carnegie Hall was slated for demolition to make way for a 44-story skyscraper. Thank God, some people with wisdom and foresight fought for its preservation and renovation. Marty Stuart is exactly this kind of person. It took a country music historian and visionary like Marty to appreciate the importance of Ryman Auditorium, and preserve it for future generations. Marty Stuart is a champion of country music history and tradition.
I agree with Marty, in America we loose more beautiful buildings and architecture in the name of progress? I went to the U.K. and saw them still using 1000 year old buildings, its a travesty that needs to be changed.
Hi Joe, love all of your features but have enjoyed Marty especially. Coming from the UK country music was always mainly the mainstream artists but have seen the Ken Burns documentary on country music during lockdown and loved it, the history the characters and hearing music and artists I never new existed.
Love your series Joe. I’m a great admirer of Marty and his band, and as a historian also. I live in New England and saw your museum on the road at The Big E fair, and that was a great exhibit. Was that during the Nashville flood?
Hi Matt.... yes the Big E Fair asked if I would bring enough exhibits to fill a 3,000 sq ft section. The museum had been closed since February 2010 due to the city of Nashville purchasing my museum’s building by eminent domain. They had not paid me anything when they gave me 7 days to move everything out before starting demolition of the building so I had to quickly move and put everything in storage. We placed a lot of the items in a storage place most all professional musicians in Nashville rehearsed and kept their gear by the river. It flooded in May. Lots of our items got damaged but were still able to be in the museum. The Big E Fair called after that and asked if we could come and we did. It was about 18 days. Thanks for visiting the exhibit and watching our channel..... Best, Joe P.S sorry I took this long to answer you.
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Take your time Joe. You’ve got important interviews line up. I’ll be here, patient, knowing you’re working hard. I really appreciate your attention.
Thank you so much for these wonderful moments with you and Marty. Really appreciate all you do. Have enjoyed every one of these with Marty. You just have to convince Connie to come in for an interview, too. Take care and keep on doing what you're doing. All the best.
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I’ve been on a huge country music journey this year and through your videos ~ and RU-vid in general, it has been a tremendous pleasure to do so. Now I understand why Marty Stuart was chosen as the host for the Fundraiser last September for the CMHOF&M.
Joe, thank you for this series with Marty. I thoroughly enjoyed it. So are you at the museum on a daily basis? One day when I come to see the museum, I'd love to shake your hand and say thanks. (Don't worry, I will have had my vaccines by then LOL.)
These Interviews with Marty Stuart are the most interesting ones you've done. Didn't know Marty was behind saving the Ryman. I knew Roy Acuff was for demolishing it because of the hookers & red light district around it and boy was it hot in the summer in that place.
I'm glad the Ryman was saved. Joe have you considered a interview with Carl or Carol Gorodetsky about the Nashville String Machine? All music credits them on over 1,100 albums. Chet couldn't have produced the late 60's and 70's albums without his signature lush string sections.
Great interview(s)! Is it possible to make the theme at the beginning and end of the videos (Chit Chat - S.Wariner-according to video) available to purchase and download? Sounds like a Tom Petty and Mike Campbell thing - really cool
Hi van.... When I decided to do the MHOF” Backstage” show for channel 5 TV here in Nashville I wanted a theme song. I’m a huge Tom Petty and H.B fan so I called my very good friend Steve Wariner and told him I wanted a theme song instrumental that sounded like Tom Petty. I gave him a few titles of songs that I liked the feel of for a theme song and I asked him to come up with something similar but original. This is what he came up with. The title chit chat is because it’s a talk show. Funny you should say it sounds like Mike and Tom:) What you hear is all there is at this time. I’ve asked Steve to complete it. I think he might before long. Steve and his son Ryan played everything on the recording. Thanks for watching...Joe
Hey Joe here in a very cold Omaha, Nebraska I'm watching old vids and I came across Marty & McGuinn doing My back Pages and guess who I seen front and center in the front row.. Ha.. fame sure has it's privilege... Lucky guy ..
Mr Roy Acuff was a true gentleman, he would set and tall with my father fir for hours. Dad told him how much him and the men with him. Enjoyed hearing him when they were at Guam and Okinawa. Every time we would go he all ways took a lot of time to talk with everyone who wanted to talk. Mr Roy talked about learning to yoyo and balance his bow on his nose. I have great memories of him and cousin allswall
Buddy, You need to Interview Frankie Miller (The Blackland Farmer) who played the Louisiana Hayride. He is my buddy, he just turned 90 but remembers the 50s and 60s like it was a month ago. The Stories I have heard from him I have not heard from another living person. His stories have so many personal details. He was very close with George Jones, Tommy Hill and a bunch of the other Star Day artists. Respond here and we can go from there.
saw the series enjoyed it a lot i'm curious do you know why, the night club,museum,Buck Owens built in Bakersfield does not have anything in it about the late Don Rich one of my fav pickers
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum The only way I have ever seen it was through a travel blog called Daze Of Jordan the Lion and he went through it and then stayed for dinner and the show after wards never did i see on this blog anything that pertained to Don and that really surprised and bothered me. I know that Don and Buck were so tight and Don was a great picker so i thought maybe yourself or Marty might have some Idea about why
The late John Hartford had a good song out called" They're going to Tear down the Grand Ole Opry", about knocking the Ryman down before the made plans to save it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-N1FFyyJz8wc.html
