Roni Stoneman, First Lady of the banjo and Hee-Haw regular passed away at the age of 85. Here’s a fascinating “Dueling Banjos” that she did with Jimmy Capps.
Love me some pickin’ and grinnin’.

Let all the Bulldog faithful rally behind the men who now wear the red and black with two words, two simple words which express the sentiments of the entire Bulldog Nation: Auburn Sucks.
Otis, my man! I play around on the gui-tar a little, but am not good; however, my dad can play the banjo part of Duelin’ pretty well. So on occasion, and after a bourbon or two, we play that when we get together. Memories in the making.
Ah yeah! Gotta like any picker that barks like a Dawg, or puppy in this instance @ 2:29.
Reminded me of Kramer when he saw Joe DiMaggio at Dinky Doughnuts. Lol
So good.
Reminds me of this:
And this!
Paddle faster, boys!
Hee Haw was fabulous, although it took time passing by to realize!
Hilarious and campy.
In fifth grade I had had a friend with the Hee Haw lunchbox. I had Laugh In.
That was when country music was country music!
Not so sure what that is they call country music now.
In to 8 track lately. Hated that format in the 70s.
But Merle Haggard Tom T. Hall is best on analog. Like really LoFi analog.
Thanks for posting of both takes !
Currently playing on my Magnepans:
Video killed this radio star’s chances.
Do yourself a favor and see these boys live. Thank me later.
That’s pretty good. Love the “Blues Brothers ” vibe…
As hokey as Hee Haw could be, it had a wealth of talent on board there. Here a few of them. RIP, Ms. Connie.

Ms. Roni, my apologies. She was a gem.

Then “All in the Family”
My Saturday nights in 1971-2 or so
I had to put my glasses on to realize who she was. I didn’t remember that she could play. Wow.
Otis, really liked that. Enjoying the site!
