Jim Stafford Malaguena. Branson Dec.9, 2017 

Amen to you! Cluelessness is written on blank faces!

Go easy on those 300 young idiots. They've never seen someone do songs with actual melodies. Sucks to listen to beat only.

One of my Mom's fave peeps, and mine. "Cow Pattie" is my fave

I just cant see how there can be so many grossly ignorant people out there

@@petersnushall7293 That's because, evidently, you're ignorant. Your bias is preventing you from thinking it through. *(I'm here because I just, randomly, remembered Stafford -- I watched his damn variety show on ABC, for one thing -- and understand something of who he's been and how he's played it out for so long. But that's me.)

You are correct, sir.

@@TolKOZAK Mr Kozak you have no idea how much I appreciate your videos of Jim. My wife saw him in Vegas and said he was amazing !!!

You are correct, sir.

He is a monster talent. He is one of the greats.

Yeah..! Be nice if one of those 'late night' characters would 'discover' him..!

You are very astute.

Wow! I'm impressed. Your comment is articulate, informed, and succinct. Best of all, you have great taste in performers. I hope you enjoyed the video.

Lots of fun!

If he opened for Frankie Valli,I was at that show...EXCELLENT performances! Mitch.

Right on!

The only possible reason for thumbs down would be the 60's Sanyo hand held tape recorder sound quality.

It’s been said all good things must come to an end. Unfortunately we are mortals whose days are numbered. In times past tradition would continue and comparable replacements would admirably step in to continue with tradition. Sadly, our great land doesn’t respect tradition as it once did, and suitable replacements are fewer and farther between. Talent has been replaced by noise and electronic signals. I hope someday there will be a renaissance of talent to silence the noise we hear today.

Wil Robles there’s replacements for great artists of the past it’s just not what you want or the way you want or you’re just unaware...👌

Love Jim Stafford and miss the seventies too.

@Jon Smith Howzabout a "Bullshit Artist baiting douchebag". Care if i give it a whirl? Thanks. Here goes........ Why the hell everybody (a lot of fffffolks, anyway) got to bring their "god" into every possible conversation, i wonder. Fffffor instance; there is a Ton of Evidence, in favor of a "Race" existing and/or having existed, at some point, in time (up to and including right this very instant), whereas, there is very little, if not, any, Evidence, in favor of a "god" existing, ever, let alone a "god" whom gives a fffffflying ffffart, in regards to Human endeavors, imaginary or otherwise, conscious or unconscious. In other words....No Evidence of a "god", caring, regardless of one's "State" of mind. Get it? "State"? (Mr. Stafford was talking about the "State" of "Florida", in this Video.. You had to be there, i guess.)

@@michigunsanta8680 Thanks, for repeating what "Wil Robles" Typed. (Insert "Okay" Emoticon, here, please)

You got that right, partner.

I'm 58 and rarely ever turn it on. I'll watch a little if the wife has something on. Usually reruns from the 70's! Not much today is worth my time!

Ya notice all you cranky old buggas are watching utube instead? Me too. I’m 60.

Toady Home lol...I'm 58 and that's what I do! They'll have to change it's name to cranky old bugger tube!😂

I am in that club.

Oh yeah he’s a nice artist

We saw him several times and loved every moment!

He is musically talented. I am awestruck by him and Roy Clark, for example. But beyond that is his impeccable comedic timing.

@@TolKOZAK Also.....Don`t forget Mr. Glen Campbell.

@@weldrider1 You got that right, mister.

You are very astute. For an Aussie. (That's a joke. Not a good one.)

Lost tourist in NYC asks local, "How do you get to Carnegie Hall?" Answer: Practice, practice, practice.

HIGHLY Rated by Me & other normal people .

@Wayne M Poll a hundred people. I'd bet 60% have never even heard of him. Get out of the clouds.

@Wayne M you are a complete idiot if my comment went over your head. Let me dumb it down for you so your simple mind can grasp it. I didn't say Stafford was not talented. I live in Missouri. Do you have any idea how many times I saw Stafford in Branson? Lol. I'm talking about his notoriety. Since your first comment was pompous and full of contempt at being so cool that you again missed my point. Try to stick with me big guy. The poll isn't just asking snowflakes, nor millennials idiot. The point is is that YES Stafford IS underrated because very few people knew/know who he was and that is a shame because he was amazing. I grew up listening to Roy, Chet, Glen etc and very few people know them as well and that's a shame. Next time before your fragile little ego gets its panties in a bunch try making sure you actually understand what the person said. That way you won't look like an idiot again.

@Wayne M Holy shit man. Just when I thought you couldn't get dumber. Read YOUR definition that you just posted. "A price less than the TRUE VALUE." TRUE VALUE. Idiot. Which proves MY point that Stafford is amazing, yet people (I'm not talking about OLD people like yourself, I'm talking about people in general) don't know about him which makes his TRUE VALUE less than what it SHOULD BE. Roy Clark was a master at anything with a string on it. Most people have never heard of Roy Clark, hence he would be UNDERRATED for the exact same reason. I really hope you are like 12 years old because I can't wrap my mind around having to explain this to an adult.

I mean OMG! How could you not see if

Dennis John Dreher He’s ok but I wouldn’t put him in that league. You watch Roy Clark do that tune and he’s moving so much faster.

Roy Clark was a badass player!

@@michigunsanta8680 Roy clark was an artist with anything with strings. Amazing man

@@PatriotSteve And sloppier. I love Clark and Stafford. 16 Little red Noses and a Horse that Sweats!

If you count how funny they are as well, Jim and Roy are in a league of their own. I am more a fan of rock but I think Roy Clark is the fastest shredder of them all, any genre. But Jim is incredibly fast as well.

Only a fellow musician could make that observation.

@@TolKOZAK "-) Many years ago I liked to dabble a bit. Someone pointed that out to me way back and I always listen for that added touch for a master musician.

Right on. And his timing is impeccable.

Great line. Funny guy and talented musician. Thanks for watching.

Also a very funny guy. By the way, your name reminds me of our neighbour who sang, "The Prisoner's Song" for us. His name was Curly Dick. I kid you not.

Same here.

Roy was a musical genius and a fabulous entertainer. No wonder Jim called him his idol.

@@TolKOZAK No higher praise for Roy right there👌

What a lovely sentiment for a lovely man.

Hello Linda how are you doing!!

you probably need to listen to Sabicas, Paco De Lucia or any other flamenco guitarist to see how this is actually played...this is basic

Hi Stacey

Hello Stacy he are you doing!!

And bongo player! 🤣

His song brings back the old time

You got dat right, pal.

Long live the king.

Brought to our country by Ponce de Leon, and his sister Beyonce de Leon. True story.

Same here.

Id be mowing his yard for lessons and im 57...

Why not get to know your neighbor? If you see him introduce yourself and go have coffee together. I'm sure he would love that.

Creep

marquis de queensbury LoL!!! “Y’all come back now, y’hear?”

Hello Chris how are you doing!!

Jim is definitely the finest performer I ever saw in Branson. Of course, he's the only performer I ever saw in Branson. (Just trying a little Stafford humour.)

Lol he’s a good artist I love is songs

@profnasty you must not be a Florida native,that's why The Spartan made that comment!LMAO

I guess you don't like Spiders and Snakes. Jimmy has been around for a long time.

He’s a nice artist

Hi Tina

Hello Tina how are you doing!!

Roy was the best. Jim is pretty good too.

You, sir, are a fine judge of musical and comedic talent.

I'll tell him. Do you have BBQ ribs?

Fun to watch. Even more fun in person. He takes the time to talk to everyone who wants to meet him. Chatted at least 10 min with me and my wife.

Yeah, but only with the wind.

Wasn't it 60 yards?

Yes he does. He still does a meet and greet at every show. Stays until everyone has a photo opportunity.

TolKOZAK , love hearing that! Such a talented yet humble man. ❤

He’s a great man that’s one of his character I found so nice

He’s a great artist

A warm genuine person. My wife and I had a similar experience. We chatted long after the show ended, and I'm not from Dallas. I'm from Ontario.

I'll bet he was great. Last saw him pre-Covid. He performed last October. He may now be retired.
