how 'bout a Superlative welcome for our host. Here is
Marty Stuart." Marty and His Fabulous Superlatives
performed "We Don't Grow Tobacco." 
Marty said, "Del McCoury
Band. That gentlemen wrote that himself." Eddie said,
"Pickin' and singin' mighty blue there. That's the
award-winning Del McCoury Band and the song that Del
wrote 'I Feel The Blues Moving In'. Thank you,
fellas." Eddie promoted Hilda Stuart's photo book Choctaw
Gardens. After a commercial break, Marty said,
"Welcome back, everybody. Superlatives? There they
are. The famous Del McCoury Band. Just the finest.
That's all there is to it. And speakin' of the finest,
here's one of the finest country singers that ever
walked God's Earth. How 'bout a hand for the great
Connie Smith. Hello Constance. Can I talk ya into
doin' a Roger Miller song?" Connie said, "I'd love
to." Marty said, "All right." Connie sang "When A
House Is Not A Home." 
Marty said, "That's Connie
Smith." Connie said, "Thank you." Marty continued,
"That's Connie Smith." Marty walked over to The Del
McCoury Band. "Yeah. Hello Del." Del said, "How ya
doin'?" Marty started shaking hands with the band. He
said, "Alan, Rob, Ronnie, Jason." Turning to Del, he
said, "What did you feed these youngins when they were
little to make 'em play so good?" Del said, "I tried
to starve 'em out." Marty continued, "They was raised
on Martha White biscuits, that's what it was. This is
simply an excuse. I'm gonna start this song. It's
simply an excuse to hear my favorite mandolin player
in the world, Mr. Ronnie McCoury, play this song. You
ready? All right. I'm gonna do it and turn it over and
you do the rest." They performed "Rawhide." 
Marty said, "Get outta
here." After a commercial break, Marty said, "Welcome
back, ladies and gentlemen. Comin' to ya from Grand
Ole Opry town Music City USA Nashville, Tennessee. And
it's an honor to share the good news on the sponsor of

historical stops, and counting, on the world-renown

good company of Steve's On The Square, Yates Drugs,
Dees Department Store, Byar's Furniture, the Ellis
Theatre, Williams Brothers Grocery, and the famous

Band, the Philadelphia Gun and Pawn Shop on Posey
Avenue. All family-run businesses. I'm proud of
Country Music Trail Marker No. 2 because it happens to
have my name on it, and how it should read is 'Blessed
journey. Son of the American dream'. So how 'bout a
hand for dear ole Mississippi, Country Music Trail
Marker No. 2, and all the good people in one of the
greatest places in the world .... Philadelphia,
Mississippi. Come visit Philadelphia. You'll see what
I mean. And it is now time for a visit with the
Tennessee Slicker. Here is Leroy Troy. Come Sultan of
Goodlettsville. Hello Leroy. Look at whatcha have.
