A country music essential on the hay bale. How 'bout a hand for Mr. Skaggs. Right under Lester and Earl. Looking good. See. And speakin' of Lester and Earl, if you'll look on the front row, there's a pretty silver-haired lady. That's my mama and sittin' right next to her is Lester Flatt's wife Gladys and Lester's granddaughter Tammy. Welcome, Gladys. She fed me when I first came to Nashville before my mama and daddy got up here. Ladies and gentlemen, here she comes. Out of chute number one, one of the greatest of all time. Here she comes, Skaggs. How 'bout a hand for the great Connie Smith, everybody. Come here, Constance." Connie performed "Just One Time."

Talkin' about Mr. Greg Harkins. Handsome Harry, the official Presidential chair maker." Handsome Harry said, "Is that right." Marty continued, "That's right. People travel to Vaughn, Mississippi from all over the world. That's right, Cous. Right down the road from Martin and Stinson, Mississippi to get in line and order a world-class rockin' chair by Mr. Greg Harkins. How 'bout a hand for ole Greg down there. Yeah. Yes, yes, yes. Speakin' of world-class rockers, here he is. The Sultan of Goodlettsville, the most popular man in country music, Skaggs, here he comes. The ole Tennessee Slicker.

Here to tell ya all about it is Marty Stuart." Marty said, "Mr. Skaggs." Ricky said, "Yes sir, brother." Marty continued, "Thank you for comin' by." Ricky said, "Thank you, Marty. I love you, boy." Marty said, "I love you, too. Eddie Stubbs said somethin' that bears a lot of importance. In the early 80's when country music, everybody thought it was gone, especially for folks of our generation, you stepped up and saved it. And you could have quit then but you just kept goin'. You've done the same for bluegrass. And I can't wait to see what you've got next, but I appreciate ya. You're my favorite." Ricky said, "I appreciate you, boy." Marty said, "I love you very much. Mr. Skaggs, ladies and gentlemen. True statesman, true master." Ricky said, "Thank you, Marty." Marty said, "Why don't you show 'em what he was talkin' about." Ricky said, "Well, let's do a Ray Price tune." Marty said, "That's a good one." Ricky said, "I've Got A New Heartache." Marty said, "That was a big'un."
