I don’t know, it seemed automatic to me for her. Just played the song perfectly. That beautiful thumb roll up to the high note in the guitar solo is stellar. A nervous hand couldn’t do that move. Watching her, you realize she was more than half the Carter Family sound.

I wonder why Maybelle sounds so nervous and unsure of herself. She said they went to Bristol,Virgina.but, I read it was Bristol,Tennessee instead. Which is right? With all the yrs. spent on stage you think she wouldn’t be afraid of an interview.

ncbloom??? Did you say her children killed the vibes?? Any mother would be proud and happy to have her daughters sing with her. I think you are way!!! off base. Her daughters meant the world to her. I understand her feelings well.!!!!
