50 years?!! I remember watching this as a kid, too, along with the Osmond Brothers cartoon. Yikes! "Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination and life to everything." --Plato

It costs a lot of money now, because it didn't stay in print that long You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

I have the Blu-Ray set. Never have watched it, although they played reruns of the show well into the late-90’s, and maybe beyond. | |
