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 is time for The Marty
Stuart Show featuring Marty Stuart, the Rolls Royce of
country singers Miss Connie Smith, the ole Tennessee
Slicker Leroy Troy, along with all the Fabulous
Superlatives: Cousin Kenny Vaughan, Handsome Harry
Stinson, the Apostle Paul Martin, plus Gary Carter on
the steel guitar. And today's special guests, The
Chuck Wagon Gang along with Anita Stapleton. 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. Here is Marty Stuart." Marty and His
Fabulous Superlatives performed "Echoes." 
Marty said, "Thank you very much.
All the guests that come to be on our television show
are met at the door by this nice lady I'm about to
introduce you to. Connie, you actually introduced me
to this lady when I first met you a few years back.
Right?"
Marty said, "That's Miss Anita
Stapleton. You did a good job. Great job, Anita."
After a commercial break, Marty said, "And we're back.
Handsome, Apostle. As the father of country music,
Jimmie Rodgers, used to say .... 'Hey, Hey.' Now
Jimmie Rodgers is one of the people who gave reason
for the state of Mississippi to be known as the
birthplace of America's music. I'm proud to say that
the state of Mississippi's the sponsor of our show.
Mississippi has produced lots of American music
originals. Many of those people are celebrated and
honored throughout the state on the Blues and Country
Music Trails that run across Mississippi land. I'll
tell ya an original whose name appears on the Country
Music Trail marker right in front of the Choctaw
Museum in Philadelphia, Mississippi. His name is Bob
Ferguson. Bob was a renaissance man. He wrote songs
like 'On The Wings Of A Dove' and 'The Carroll County
Accident'. He produced records for RCA Victor such as
'Once A Day' for cute and country Connie Smith, as
well as songs for Dolly Parton, Willie and Waylon just
to name a few. Bob was also a historian as well, and
an archaeologist. However, at the height of his
musical career, Bob fell in love with a pretty Choctaw
lady named Martha from Philadelphia. He left his
Nashville career behind and moved to the Choctaw
Reservation where he lived for the rest of his life,
lovin' Martha and servin' the Choctaw people. However,
Bob's works as a music maker is no less than genius.
His legacy is in tact and you can learn more about him
and his accomplishments on the Country Music Trail in
Philadelphia and Choctaw, Mississippi. So here's to
Bob Ferguson. Whataya say. Bob Ferguson." Pointing to
Connie, "You know him. And whataya say we make welcome
he ole Tennessee Slicker, ladies and gentlemen. Leroy
Troy. Hello Leroy. Look over here. Anita and Connie.
Superlatives." 
Leroy: "Anita ....Connie."
