Join us now for 30 minutes of fun and great country music. I'm Eddie Stubbs. Now how about a Superlative welcome for our host, Mississippi's keeper of the flame for all things country. Here is Marty Stuart." Marty said, "All right. Thank you, Eddie." Marty and The Fabulous Superlatives performed "A Satisfied Mind." 
Marty said, "How 'bout a hand for ole Buck Trent. Come here, Buck. Glad you're here." Buck said, "Oh yeah. Ole Buck Trent." Marty said, "Ole Buck Trent." Buck said, "Ole Buck Trent." Marty said, "The reason I say that is ole Buck Trent's been in my life for a long time and I love Buck Trent. I love you." Buck said, "Oh thanks. I love you, too." Marty continued, "Watchin' you on TV growin' up in Mississippi on The Porter Wagoner Show, all of you .... the entire cast. It was great." Buck said, "You was a kid really." Marty said, "You were, too." Buck said, "I've got shoes older than you." Marty and Buck laughed. Buck said, "I went with Porter from '62 to '74." Marty said, "Well, ya'll made a lot of great records. And there's one song in particular that when it would come along, Porter and Dolly would do it." Buck said, "That's right. It was a big hit for 'em." Marty said, "Yes it was. And you made it a big hit with that banjo." Buck said, "Whoa." Marty said, "How 'bout we do this one right here.Superlatives ....." Marty and Buck performed "Holding On To Nothing."
Eddie said, "Wonderful sounds right there. 'Holding On To Nothing'. Thank you, fellas." Eddie promoted Marty's book of photographs, Country Music: The Masters. After a commercial break, Marty said, "There you are. Thought you'd never come back. I consider it an honor each and every week to tell ya that The Marty Stuart Show is sponsored by my home state. I'm speakin' of dear old Mississippi, the birthplace of America's music. Now I wanna tell ya about an old friend that was located on the edge of Meridian, Mississippi. It was the Red Hot Truck Stop. Now I started travelin' when I was 12 years old and bein' the old road dog that I am, I know where the best truck stop coffee in the world can be found. For many years, the undisputable honor went to the Red Hot. The Red Hot was legendary. The place was always full of characters. Country music was king. Hank Williams' songs were simply a part of the atmosphere. George Jones songs were a way of life. The lines in Merle Haggard's face were understood and respected. A good ole boy's handshake there was better than a contract. And the waitresses, they knew they were servin' a legendary cheeseburger. But it was the Red Hot's coffee that ruled. It had a power. Aww, it could make time fly and stand still at the same time. But, as time often does, it will take from you what you most cherish. The latter days of the 20th century claimed the Red Hot Truck Stop. Today, the only thing left of it is the memories and the coolest sign in the southern states which sits in an empty parking lot on the outer banks of Meridian. You can see it as you pass by on I-20. Give it a wave. So here's to an old friend, fondly remembered. The Red Hot Truck Stop in Meridian, Mississippi. Speakin' of red hot, along with his famous Uncle Buck from Missouri, how 'bout a hand for the ole Sultan of Goodlettsville, the Tennessee Slicker, Leroy Troy and his famous Uncle Buck."
Buck: "Buck and Leroy."
After a commercial break, Eddie Stubbs promoted the Marty Stuart Tribute Revolver. Eddie said, "Here is Marty Stuart." Marty said, "How 'bout a hand for Eddie Stubbs. Thank you very much, Eddie Stubbs. And thank you for comin' by." Buck said, "Thank you so much." Marty said, "Superlatives? Our country music hero, Mr. Buck Trent." Buck said, "Awww, God, look-a-there. Thank you so much." Marty said," I tell ya what. It's always a lot of fun when you come by; but amidst the fun, I don't want it to ever be lost that you're one of the great master musicians of country music." Buck said, "Wow, very intelligent fella, folks." Marty and Bucked laughed. Marty said, "Are you takin' requests today?" Buck said, "Yeah, you wanna hear somethin'?" Marty said, "Until Dawn." Buck said, "Until Dawn. You got it. Right here." Marty said, "Mr. Buck Trent, ladies and gentlemen."
