Ohhhh my goodness gracious ❤. I am so grateful I found this and thank you thank you for recording and sharing. Sonny truly was a treasure on this earth and he smile and laugh will live forever ❤. Godspeed Sonny

I loved Sonny. It breaks my heart to know he's gone.

Sonny Osborne, RIP. One of the greatest. Will never be forgotten!

Sonny was always my favorite.He forgot more licks than most knew.

RIP Sonny Osborne. I was so sad when He passed away in OCTOBER, of 2021. :( He was from Kentucky as well as Bobby. My name is Bobby also and I'm from Kentucky. There will never be a pair of great players like the Osborne brothers again.

The 5 guys who dislike this video are not Bluegrass fans, they are sad people with no friends, the Osborne Brothers are pioneers of this music, brilliant musicians, harmonizing singers with a great band in the past 👍!!

thanks for sharing and posting this! I followed Sonny's banjo playing for as long as I can remember and believe me that's a long time!

God bless you Sonny...! You are loved and appreciated by traditional Bluegrass fans!

You gotta love Sonny Osborne

I absolutely loved it when Sonny would always get a good laugh going on stage he is one of a kind love you Sonny oh and what a banjo picker he was the best

This is pure gold! I really like hearing Sonny's take on -- well, just about anything!

Absolutely! Screw the politics and censorship, this is what makes KZread a treasure when it has things like this. Sonny is a true pioneer!

The vocals were wonderful the instrument playing was perfect I won't forget "Sonny on the Six String" great album with the late great steel player Weldon Myrick RIP Sonny & Weldon ❤️

R.I.P. Sonny

That place they lived at in kentucky about 5 miles from Hyden, is about 200 yards down the creek from my house. They’re old house is still there

Bluegrass Music lost another Legend!! Definitely one of a kind and a powerful musician!! Definitely an interview to hold on too!!!

Great interview. Love stuff like this. I’d like to fight the 3 people that disliked this video.

I absolutely love this. I have enjoyed the OSBORNE BROTHERS my entire life and still do today. PLEASE get Bobby and Sonny together for an interview. IT WOULD BE EPIC. Something all Bluegrass fans could cherish. I would love to experience their journey through their career together. Please do it before it's too late. Thank you Dan .

Absolutely agree. Needs to be be done, nobody is getting any younger

How does this not have a million views. Pure gold. So many more stories I'd love to hear

Great artist

Saw you on stage 1979-80 Berkshire festivals.......Love you for ever.....

Wonderful interview, Sonny has always been one of my banjo heroes! I am fortunate enough to have a 2005 Osborne Chief banjo made by Frank Neet, a copy of Sonny's Granada. The only thing I own that is not for sale. Thank you for this video.

I agree Robin. Sonny Osborne was one of my heroes as well. He took the 5 string banjo to a different level by hammering one or two notes in a chord position up the neck and it gave it a little bit of a pedal steel guitar effect with the hammer or sliding into the chord. I was fortunate enough to get to spend time with the Osborne’s on several occasions because my family owned and operated a theater at Panama City Beach, FL. called ‘The Ocean Opry Show.’ We also booked them on package shows with the Lewis Family in the 1980s. The folks bought a ticket 🎟 to see the Lewis Family and Osborne Bros on the same night, got much more than their money’s worth. The first time I saw the the Osborne Brothers in person was in 1974 at Wichita State University Basketball Arena that seated 15,000 people and it was a sell out. The Osborne’s toured for two years with Merle Haggard and the Strangers; and were Hag’s opening act every single night. I play several instruments myself including 5 string banjo. I’ve got an original 1971 Gibson RB250 Master Tone, and Sonny said ‘son that’s a good banjo.’ As good as it was and still is, it didn’t have the same tone as his Chief Banjo by Gibson. And yes, IMO, Frank Neat is one of the greatest banjo builders and repairman that I’ve ever met. If you folks like banjo, Google Frank Neat and watch the KET Public Television special that Kentucky public TV filmed on him. I recently discovered a great KZread video produced by KET network on the life story of the Osborne Brothers. It’s fantastic! RIP Sonny Osborne. He will never be forgotten.

Wow you were very blessed to be around such great talent ! Thanks

I would have loved to see Sonny and Roy Clark play together!!

Really great!

Greetings from Finland :) Great interview! Sonny is my Banjo hero and he have unique and recognizable banjo sound! Always loved Osborne Brothers music!

Sonny was the best in the world. And he would have been as good without speed.

I would love to have asked him did he play a 6 string banjo much.

Beautiful girl

Sonny looks like he’s 125

He was a great banjo player. Everyone copied Earl’s style back then.
