Vintage Josh Graves with Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs

This random, motley set of Josh with Lester and Earl is for the true Josh junkie. Sound and image quality varies, because even the best '50s sources lack HD quality -- so, no apologies! The playing is topnotch, IMHO. A few songs don't have Josh on Dobro. Either he was "simply" playing fills, or he was playing bass. Regardless, he was always a joy to hear, or see.

Love these two videos.

I am on there now. Thanks.

[NKP_Vet]

I always like Flatt and Scruggs and still do but I was really disappointed to find out he was an anti-war protestor. So was Charlie Daniels.

Goodness gracious, good and light, Martha White

For the finest biscuits, cakes and pies,
Get Martha White self-rising flour
The one all purpose flour,
Martha White self-rising flour’s
Got Hot Rise

For the finest cornbread you can bake,
Get Martha White self-rising meal
The one all purpose meal
Martha White self-rising meal
For goodness’ sake
