+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.

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 "
