Good ol Andy Griffith! He's a legend in both country and acting, and he's pure down home country gold. North Carolina boy born and raised just like myself.
He was never a good person. He cheated on his wife the whole time he filmed his tv show and turned out to be an extreme left obama funding/supporting communist. You never hear of him doing a good deed but there are countless stories of him being rude or mean to waitresses. He even punished his friend Don Knotts who wrote most of the tv show for leaving the show to pursue other work and further his career. He shut Don out he he asked to rejoin the show. There was no good in andy griffith, just a life of selfish meanness.
I really wish I could have met him. There's not alot of stars I want to meet, but he was definitely one of them. Do you live by Mayberry ? I have a a cousin that does. Yup I'm jealous lol.
Marty Stuart who was playing with Lester Flatt and the Nashville Grass when he was 14. Marty was responsible for Earl and Lester having a final meeting when Lester was on his death bed. Wow. Some history on that stage!
Love Banjo music Best Banjo player ever 😊 My Grandpa courted my Grandma with a Banjo, music and dinner every Sunday on her parent's farm. Had a horseless carriage that he escorted my Grandma to church and social functions with.😊 They liked country music They were married for almost 66 years when he passed my grandma passed away the following year .
I love Earl Shrugs! He has been a favorite of mine for many years. When he and Lester Flat played together, they were the best in country music! They are 2 country greats that will never be forgotten!
I may very well have Andy Griffith and his show to thank for introducing me to bluegrass. I've had a wide influence in music, but as far as I can remember there was no bigger input for this wonderful genre in my formative years (the 70s) than my love for the Andy Griffith Show. Thanks you, Andy, for finding it so important to instill the love of music in your viewers. He wasn't without fault, but I think, at his core, he was an American first and foremost. I owe many of my morals to his show.
I was in Nashville that afternoon and had backstage clerance for the Opry, but decided to head back to Virginia. When I hear this on WSM, I was about sick. Andy was supposed to do the 2nd show, but was having problems with Guillain-Barre syndrome and missed the 2nd show. I listened all the way home, just like I did for so many times.....
Even as good as Marty Stewart was, when he was on the stage with one of the old greats he still got that look of wonderment on his face like he was thinking 'I can't believe I'm standing up here with this legend.'
Unforgettable moments fans, get in action and organize the replay, who is willing to sing along, let only music rule the world & let it sound just this good ❤🎉❤
North Carolina? I thought MATLOCK was from Georgia! I knew Andy was a country music fan. He was featured in a Brad Paisley music video and had the likes of Randy Travis on his TV show. It's hard to believe he's been gone so long. Miss him!
Matlock , his character, IS from Georgia. Andy, the actor, was from Mt Airy NC. That is what Andy based Mayberry off of, his town in NC. I think you got his character from Matlock confused with the actual guy.
This is reminiscent of when Denver Pyle had with Andy the musicians in the Andy Griffith show. But this finally recognition given to Earl Scruggs is tops!
That is back when country WAS country.
agree this is the real real here
We always called it Bluegrass.
True talk!❤
Only problem today is country music programmers won't play the good stuff
Yes!! Before it got fooed up.

So explain why his special họmọsexụạl rights ?

He was a very amazing man

@@rhondasheridan7049 no Mayberry, it's called Mt. Airy, NC
I am so happy I stumbled upon this video. This is an absolute treasure indeed!!!
It happened upon you.
Sheriff Andy and Earl Scruggs! Amazing 👏
Earl Scruggs is one performer who belongs on the Grand Ole Opry stage !
Well, not anymore. LOL
So did the late five time world champion banjo player Raymond Fairchild but he preferred playing at his own opry house in Maggie Valley, NC
Love Earl.
He was the man on stage or off i new Earl good down home real man
Still watching Andy and Opie today.
Every day
Every night at supper..
Marty Stuart who was playing with Lester Flatt and the Nashville Grass when he was 14. Marty was responsible for Earl and Lester having a final meeting when Lester was on his death bed. Wow. Some history on that stage!
Has there EVER been a more humble man as Earl Scruggs.
If there is or was it would be a tough job to find one! Earl scruggs was the greatest but he never acted like he was!
RIP ANDY.
“I ain’t got time to kiss you now, my mule is running away.”
Andy Griffith was so lucky to be able to perform with such great musicians such as the Dillards (The Darlings) and this group here.
Andy can play too a bit, he was very lucky but Andy can play too
Love Banjo music
Best Banjo player ever 😊
My Grandpa courted my Grandma with a Banjo, music and dinner every Sunday on her parent's farm. Had a horseless carriage that he escorted my Grandma to church and social functions with.😊
They liked country music
They were married for almost 66 years when he passed my grandma passed away the following year .
Such a beautiful love story❤thanks for sharing Ssomeday you'll see them in Heaven😊
I love Earl Shrugs! He has been a favorite of mine for many years. When he and Lester Flat played together, they were the best in country music! They are 2 country greats that will never be forgotten!
That’s when country was country and one of the best guitar pickers that I think ever lived was Andy Griffith
The joke Andy told reminds me of the jokes my granddaddy would tell. Two great men that are gone that I wish were still here.
I always like to hear the Sheriff speak I watch Matlock every morning on TV here.
What a wonderful show Andy Griffith and Earl Scruggs what a winning combination
Earl Skruggs is a ICON and legendary banjo player
God bless American music!!!
Grew up listening to Earl Scruggs, love banjo music! My Uncle played! Love how all that moves is the fingers, not their hands!
Grew up loving Andy Griffith! Loved his and Barney Fife on Andy's TV show!
I know that when my daddy got to heaven he got to meet two people he enjoyed. 😊 This video is classic.
Oh how I miss Johnny Russell, met him and was absolutely pleasure talking with.
Love love love "Foggy Mountain Breakdown". And who doesn't love Andy Griffith. Oh, and the Grand Ole Opera.
Opry.
@@carollewis3912 Oops, you are correct. Dang spellcheck. 🤯
@@douglasmesina6922 It's happened to me before. I have to proofread. Sometimes we're smarter than the smart phones.
I first saw earl Scruggs when I was 18......im 64 now:) I love bluegrass because of him.
I enjoy real bluegrass because they don't use drums ❤
Thank you algorithm God
This was a night to celebrate long time coming induction for Earl, and wonderful chance to be on the Opry for Andy
I can't find my comment, if I made one. These folks are legends. They belong in the country music hall of fame.

Brings back so many memories of my dad ❤
Earl and his three sons are gone. We were blessed to have them !
RIP all of them.
Oh gosh, and Randy and Gary Scruggs, too. Miss them.

Well rehearsed song by Andy Griffith and the award was awesome!!!!
I was in Nashville and the Grand Ole Opry I like the city and its American atmosphere. Id go back again and hangout downtown.
A Face in the Crowd blew my mind watching Andy Griffith play, song and act like a BOSS!!!!!! 🏆🏆🏆💖
Even as good as Marty Stewart was, when he was on the stage with one of the old greats he still got that look of wonderment on his face like he was thinking 'I can't believe I'm standing up here with this legend.'

Priceless !! Marty Stewart my fav !!

Unforgettable moments fans, get in action and organize the replay, who is willing to sing along, let only music rule the world & let it sound just this good ❤🎉❤
You gotta love it legendary man
I was privileged to attend “The Earl Scruggs Review” at CSU (ca 1977). Amazing performance! 😊
- - - - Andy was America's Grandfather - - - -
I just loved Andy so much. ❤❤great actor and singer. Him and Barney made a perfect pair for laughs on that show.
Marty Stuart is amazing!!
He was the master of the banjo.. he could make it talk
He could make it sing.
My son played on that stage in the late 70 s with Mandrell
Didn't he play in the park?
Very entertaining and enjoyable with perfect harmonies. Thanks for sharing your beautiful music. Following from Sydney Australia.
Wow awesome thanks for posting ❤ 😊!!++
Just wonderful, thank you.
as one that had grown up in the 80s this was great listening to these fine gentlemen! scruggs was so humble you can see it in his face!
TNN. Those were the days
Priceless enough said.
Glad I got to see this!
Love Andy Griffin❤
Wow, what an ironic moment. Andy Griffith inducting Earl Scruggs into the country music hall of fame at the Grand Ole Opry. Both are missed!
Why is this never considered as one of the best instrumentals of all time
Thank you.
I love this..
Amazing!
Wow…..true American
I sure do miss Andy ❤
I agree back when country was country not the pop bulshit they got now I grew up on Scruggs and Lester flats what great memories😊
Oh how i Love this!!!!!!
Pure magic
North Carolina? I thought MATLOCK was from Georgia! I knew Andy was a country music fan. He was featured in a Brad Paisley music video and had the likes of Randy Travis on his TV show. It's hard to believe he's been gone so long. Miss him!
Andy was born in Mt. Airy NC.
Glad I got to see this at 540 am . Priceless indeed . Young folks watch listen and learn !
Matlock , his character, IS from Georgia. Andy, the actor, was from Mt Airy NC. That is what Andy based Mayberry off of, his town in NC.
I think you got his character from Matlock confused with the actual guy.
Mister Banjo! Nothing could be plainer or clearer!!!
(the late) Earl Scruggs was the "Eddie Van Halen" of blugrass, such that he re-wrote the book on how the banjo was played.
Classic 😊 Love these great American men.
Go Earl!!
LOVE this.💖💖💖💖💖💖🐎👢👢🐎
Awesome
Earl Scruggs, catch him if you can 🍻
You have great talent ❤
