    I think that everything the Osborne brothers did they did an awesome job, even when they mess up it’s still great. Sure miss Sonny.

    Saw these guys in 1984 or 85 in Pacolet, SC with the Lewis Family. Little Roy Lewis and Sonny picked on each other throughout the show. While the Bros. were playing Little Roy grabbed an Osborne Bros album, handed it to me and Sonny got "mad", chased Little Roy off stage. Don't remember if it was Sonny or Bobby that called the bass player Moses. This guy had long hair and there were several jokes made about his hair that night. It was a great show even after riding in the back seat of a 1973 Mach One Mustang for 2.5 hrs. I am 6'2 and my back aged 10 years after that ride.

    My brother and I would do the same, I would wander off playing some other song, and after we finished our set, he would ask me "what were you playing" and I would say I don't know, but it sounded good, and the beauty of it was that he would just keep right up with me, playing rhythm guitar while I played lead, brotherly instinct I guess, ???

    Watching Sonny laugh is worth the price of admission. Besides having enjoyed watching them play many times, I had some bluegrass business dealings with Sonny. He was an incredible stand-up guy to deal with. A real first-class human being.

    I love this! Not just the chance to hear Sonny pick the guitar great, but also to see the brothers having fun and not getting all bothered cause they messed up. In fact, the "mess up" allowed them to take off from there with a bunch of funny stuff. Purely natural. Thanks for posting.

      @@svs1481 Oh o.k., sorry about that. The only time I saw them live that I recall was 1963 at Thunder Road race track, Barre VT - just Sonny, Bobby and Benny Birchfield - no bass. They were totally great. Might have seen them at Indian Ranch, Webster MA or one of the early Berkshire NY fests - just can't recall right now. The 1963 is so memorable cause it was the first show I'd ever seen with a pro bluegrass band. And...Sonny...RIP....one of the true great.

      I saw them in Granite Falls N.C. early 70's..they put on a great show...Sonny broke a string on his banjo mid ways in a song they were performing.....pulled one from his coat pocket...restrung and joined back in on the song before it ended...!!

      Without the element of humour bluegrass just isn't the same.
      That's what makes these guys and people like Rhonda Vincent so good.
      It's about more than virtuosity

He played this one too with the rest of the Bluegrass pickers in his band...You Are My Flower...we finally met the Osbornes at the Bean Blossom Fest. In the 80's! I'm 64 now and you're still great!!!!!

It does kind of sound like Jimmy Brown... and Sonny on the guitar just sounds wonderful! Sonny could play a cigar box with strings and make it sound good! At 5:12, that is just hilarious!

      He is playing "You are my flower," and guitar player suddenly starts picking "Jimmy Brown the newsboy" as they sound similar, so without batting an eye, the singer switches to that one. Then the guitar player purposely goes into Wildwood flower...
