I love this song. He tells the story of the song in the second video

Me too.

Another of his that I like

I grew up listening to this. I remember asking my dad about some of these not quite sounding country. He said that back in the 50's it was all called country, rock hadn't quite hit the scene.

Red, White, and Blue(Grass), outstanding musicians and great people. Core trio were Grant Boatwright (acoustic guitar) and his wife, Ginger (vocals, guitar), and Dale Whitcomb (banjo).

They were joined by some great talent, both live performances and recordings.

Woody Herman collaborated with Ginger on one of her later albums, "Sentimental Journey: The Bluegrass-Jazz Experience."

Do a search for "Red, White, and Blue(Grass)" and / or "Ginger Boatwright" to hear some really great bluegrass.

Here's one of the Red, White, and Blue(Grass) album covers, designed by Ginger; see if you can find my name on it. Really, it's there.

Imagine Jerry's shock at what cars are like 50 years after that song was released. IIRC, the video is from an episode of "Hee-Haw". Barbi Benton, Lisa Todd, Misty Rowe...and one lady that I can't quite call the name of are swinging and swaying.

Pretty special.
