Give 'em a nice hand, our friends. Speakin' of Hank Singer, come here Hank Singer. You always come by to help us and play some mighty pretty fiddle, but we've never turned you loose for a fiddle tune all your very own. Would you play us one?" Hank said, "I'd love to." Marty said, "Whatcha wanna do?" Hank said, "Let's do 'Sally Goodin'." Marty said, "How 'bout a hand for fiddlin' Hank Singer, ladies and gentlemen."
Marty said, "Fiddlin' Hank Singer tore 'Sally Goodin' up. Great job. Hank Singer." After a commercial break, Marty said, "Welcome back, everybody. Yes, sir. Superlatives? Enjoying this show very, very much. One of the first Connie Smith records I ever heard was a song called 'Seattle'. And I thought it was beautiful. And all the time we've been together, I've never heard Connie sing this song, so the best way to do that is ask her to do it on the show. And today she brought with her, her highly glamorized, highly stylized Superlative Strings, Sari, Kris, David and David. Give 'em a hand. Lookin' pretty. And while you got your hands together, how 'bout a hand for Miss Connie Smith to sing 'Seattle'. Aww, pretty, pretty. Hi Constance." Connie said, "Hi honey." Marty said, "Sing the pretty song." Connie said, "Just for you." Marty said, "All right. Thank you."
Marty said, "Thank you very much" and gave Connie a kiss. Marty continued, "Miss Connie Smith and the Superlative Strings." After a round of applause, Marty said, "Would you make welcome Miss Lorrie Bennett. Hi Lorrie. Come in the house. There ya go. There she is, Harry." Harry said, "Okay." Marty, His Fabulous Superlatives, and Lorrie performed "Song Of Sadness."
Leroy: "Great." Marty: "Can I brag on ya for a minute?" Leroy: "Go ahead. I like braggin'." Marty: "I know you do. And I wanna talk the truth. Eddie Stubbs. I heard him talkin' about your record and he talks about what a great entertainer you are, but what a great champion of the great old time songs of America. You are a great collector of folk songs of America. And I have been waitin' three years to hear you do one song in particular that's on your record The Old Grey Mare. And tell me about 'Git Along Little Yearlings'." Leroy: "Well, this song is about a family headed west during the War Between the States, and it was written by Mr. Jimmy Driftwood, same feller that wrote 'Battle of New Orleans', 'Tennessee Stud'. Jimmy Driftwood was a school teacher down in Timbo, Arkansas. And he taught history. This is another great composition of his." Marty: "All right, ladies and gentlemen. Mr. Leroy Troy. 'Git Along Little Yearlings'."
Marty said, "Thank you, sir. Leroy Troy." Eddie Stubbs said, "The serious side of Leroy Troy this week on the program and 'Git Along Little Yearlings'. Well, the quartet's about ready to sing for us. This one's in the key of G. Stands for the gospel. 'Walking In Jersualem (Just Like John)."
Marty said, "The Waltz You Saved For Me. Kayton Roberts. Take it home, Cous. On behalf of all the Fabulous Superlatives, Hank Singer, Connie Smith, Eddie Stubbs, Lorrie Bennett, Leroy Troy,.Kayton Roberts, I'm Marty Stuart sayin' thank you for joinin' us. Hello, baby. Come see us again next week right here on The Marty Stuart Show. See ya then. Good night, everybody."
