Saluting the King of Bluegrass JIMMY MARTIN 

Thats how you play a mandolin. Thats the style I fell in love with. Its how I play it..or try. And its that sound that really swells the soul of bluegrass roots

Jimmy martin, one of the all time greats for sure. All of those important figures who laid the foundation for bluegrass have gone on now. I sure do miss them. Ill call their era, the golden era of bluegrass.

Hey Ronnie, I don't know if you remember me. I met you on Lookout Mountian in Alabama up from Fort Payne Alabama a few years ago and talk to you about your Hats. And the waterfall across the road the concert was rained out but we went inside and had a great time with you in the jam session. I still haven't found one of those hats. But thank you for everything you do. You are a special person. God bless you. Your friend and fan. David Coy Sipsy.

Jimmy Martin one off a kind ! Loved all his music , liked them bluegrass runs he made on guitar!!

The standard for Bluegrass, love it.

Dear Sir (Ronnie !) I wish to write (say) "THANK YOU SO MUCH AND CONGRATULATIONS" for your "work" on RU-vid since the last years. Friendly wishes from France. Jo

Thank you Ronnie!

Fabulous video thank you Mr Reno

Nothing beats THE KING OF BLUEGRASS a man’s man who loved God Family and Ol’Pete and all his dogs like they were his children

who were the sunny mtn. boys here? & what year was this?

That's the feel.

Thanks for sharing, Ronnie.. Great channel

Lordy Lordy

While Jimmy was without a doubt The King of Bluegrass and I was certainly lucky to know Jimmy fairly well. He'd call me and say "John, This is. JIMMY MARTIN.....WHY don't you bring Big Red and come over....? BTW, Big Red was Segrams 7 and Dr.Pepper. sometimes I'd go and Jimmy was a great host and very funny. Other times not so much. Like the rest of us Jimmy had some issues but I always thought if if you could get past the bs Jimmy could be a great guy....

Who were the band members on this video?
