Eddie Stubbs started the show by introducing the guests. "From Nashville, Tennessee, the country music capital of the world and home of the air castle of the south, it's time for The Marty Stuart Show, featuring Marty Stuart, the Rolls Royce of country singers Miss Connie Smith, the ole Tennessee Slicker Leroy Troy, and all the Fabulous Superlatives: Cousin Kenny Vaughan, Handsome Harry Stinson, the Apostle Paul Martin, plus Gary Carter on the steel guitar, and a special appearance by Chris Scruggs. Join us now for 30 minutes of fun and great country music. I'm Eddie Stubbs. Now how 'bout a superlative welcome for our host, the Mississippi mastermind of the show. Here is Marty Stuart." Marty and His Fabulous Superlatives performed "Sometimes The Pleasure's Worth The Pain."
Marty said, "Apostle Paul. Drop it in the slot just like that. You know if you've watched this show for any length of time that I love history. And it's really an honor for all of us to be a part of American history. One chapter in our nation's history that is particularly notable is the Civil War. Brother against brother. And there is a story of an incident at the end of the Civil War that's always touched me. After the fall of Richmond, a crowd gathered on the lawn of the White House to celebrate the Union army's victory. A tired and weary President Abraham Lincoln eventually made an appearance at the rally. The crowd kept callin' for a speech from the President. Mr .Lincoln did give a talk and at the end of the speech, noticin' a band of musicians close by, he kindly asked them to play this song." Harry Stinson sang a beautiful rendition of "Dixie." 
Eddie Stubbs said, "Wonderful job there from Harry Stinson and 'Dixie'." Eddie promoted Marty's book of photographs, Country Music: The Masters. After a commercial break, Marty and Connie are on stage. Marty said, "Welcome back to The Connie Smith Show. I'm Mr. Connie Smith and proud of it. I'm also proud of my home state of Mississippi who is the sponsor of this show. Now, right outside of Philadelphia, Mississippi you'll find the Choctaw Mississippi community which is the home of the Mississippi band of Choctaws. I love those folks, Constance." Connie said, "Me too." Marty continued, "The Mississippi band of Choctaws are a good people and known all around the world for their beautiful basket weaving. If you wanna see the world's foremost of Choctaw-made baskets as well as many of their aspects of Choctaw culture, I wanna encourage you to visit the Choctaw Museum located right on the reservation. The folks there will welcome you. And if you do visit, ask for a lady that's dear to both of us. I'm speakin' of Miss Martha Ferguson. She knows the Choctaw story and will be happy to share it with ya. Now here's something that Constance June and I would like to share with you. Ladies and gentlemen, the Sultan of Goodlettsville, the most popular man in country music, Constance, you know him and love him. How 'bout a hand for Leroy Troy, the ole Tennessee Slicker. Have a seat over here, Constance." Connie walks in front of Leroy. Marty said, "Hello, Leroy." Leroy said, "Have a seat there, Constance." Marty is laughing. He said, "She'll cut right in front of ya. That's what she'll do. Whatcha no good, Leroy." 
Leroy: "Aww, I don't know a thing."
Marty said, "All right. A beautiful performance." Eddie Stubbs said, "That's fine right there. Leroy Troy and 'She's Got The Money Too'. Kinda makes me wanna go out and look for a sugar mama after the show here tonight. Well, Connie Smith's got a beatiful song picked out for us, but she's got a special message before she does it for us." Connie said, "Thanks, Eddie. Two of my dearest friends live in Springfield, Missouri. Reverend Doyne and Gladness Jennings. And they're my prayer partners as well. And I wanna do this song especially for them. It's a song that Gladness wrote. One of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard." Connie sang "Street Where The Lonely Walk."
