Okay, thank you very much.
Now before we move along with another song, I'd like to introduce all the Plain Mountain boys to you that's helping me out on the stage.
And we'll start off with our bass player over on my left, and he's given me 18 years of honest and dependable service.
I play in the big bass fiddle and singing and a few other things.
And he's the ex-mayor of Norton, Virginia.
His name is Mr.
Jack Cook.
Now, doing our lead singing and playing rhythm guitar does a fine job, and he's from Sandy Hook, Kentucky.
His name is Sammy Adkins.
Now, over with the lead guitar.
He's been with me a long time, nearly 10 years, does a fine job.
You hear him on all of our later records.
And we'd like for you to make him welcome from the state of Virginia, Junior Blankenship.
Two fat fellas over there on the right.
I'll introduce you to the one on the far right right now.
He's played the fiddle all over the country.
Used to work with us a lot.
He's helped us record.
He's played the fiddle with Jimmy Martin, Bill Monroe, and a lot of other fine groups.
His name is Charlie Klein.
The other fella there has been with me 21 years.
Never missed a show, been late on two shows, drunk on 13.
Charlie Reik-Klein, a big hand for Charlie.
Now, we'd like to move back in about the middle 50s and do you an old time number that was recorded about that time.
It's called So Blue.
