Two great performances from two bright stars. I've followed Merle for years and always liked his style and his music. Connie I was aware of from her early days but I never saw her singing live till i saw this clip- what a fantastic live singer she is! Truly outstanding. Johnny Gimble too, know him well.. well only from reading his name on liner notes for years of course , Just always knew he was a top fiddle player. Great to see him for real for once! What a fantastic show this was. Pure country magic. Many thanks.
I'm an old man now, I'm alone living in sw FL. I set and watch the shows like this one. I was a decent singer/ entertainer back up east. I played music with ,or knew many of the very people I see on this show, in closing conny. I was provided to work with her 3 or 4 times. Talk about our country music taking us back.... I sat her and cryed like a baby, when dolly sang the song she wrote for porter the nite she said she was leaving to go on her own. I remember it like it was yesterday. ," Zeke Elliott Thomas "
Merle is in his comfort zone on a show like this it seems..Great stuff.. Boy that Connie Smith had a mouthful with that Louisiana Man song...geepers..lots of words..
+Hagfan789 I think it's because it's recorded and he knew if he flubbed something they would redo it.. but Merle was so damned good they probably never had to do more than 1 or 2 retakes on anything.

Using what Bonnie says this must have been a 1974 recording.. It's 2015 & Connie is still very pretty with a great voice after several kids and a few marriages. Terrific.
@@soundguy5813 Yeah, and Burton is no Roy Nichols on his best day! Jim's a one trick pony with the chicken pickin' he didn't invent by the way. Nichols could cover a helluva lot of ground musically from Jazz to Blue to hard core western swing AND that Bakersfield sound that HE helped create.
Observation--- it. seems that Merle was a lot happier here-- lots of smiles and looked like he was having fun!! When he was with Bonnie, he always looked happy. Always enjoy his performances but in his later days the look in his eyes was more sad then happy.
She is so beautiful singing about her “baby on her mind”, and that was actually true. She was very pregnant at the time f this show. You can tell her belly and her glow.
I NEVER WAS INTO MERLE, ALTHOUGH HE COULD OBVIOUSLY SING. BUT THIS SONG AND THE BRILLIANT ORCHESTRATION KINDA WON ME OVER.🌟🌟🌟🌟 (HOW ODD THAT WHEN MERLE WAS ASKED WHAT HIS MOTHER'S NAME IS, HE REPLIED:"MY MOMMA?"😩🤔🤐😟😖)
Hi, I'm looking for the song Connie sang a song on the Marty Stuart show. Guest was John Anderson. I don't remember the name of the song. Do you have the show to upload?
Hag says, "We're gonna do 'Holding Things Together' - a song about Alice M___" WHO? (Mangee? Mangie?) Anyone know this story? I knew Merle & Bonnie, Norm and Roy, Tiny, Biff & Mark and Don AND Johnny Gimble (as well as a lot of other Strangers bandmembers for many years and never heard this one.
Well now Merle you can’t get by with 2 kids and a working wife. We have become a country of working poor, and I’m not bringing politics into this. Both parties are horrible, neither have the best interest of the working middle class.
