Lester Flatt's singing grows on you, he doesn't ever to seem to attempt anything that is beyond him, perhaps why he was so good at what he did attempt. The net also makes Lester's duets with Mac Wiseman available for those not fortunate enough to have seen them live, or own their vinyls. I feel sorry for the 3 people that gave this a thumbs down, the tune is remarkable for the quality of both the guitar and the dobro if nothing else.

While the overall performance was good, Lester was flat on the high notes of "sing". Perhaps that is why some gave a thumbs down. Some folks seem to think being "country" excuses singing flat. But when you are allowed to start below the note and slide up to it, there is no excuse for a professional singer not to slide all the way up to the proper note. That practice is just laziness.

I've seen them perform at least a dozen times in my life; once at Verona Lake Ranch here in 1962, where my uncle Brenton played with them; once in Creswell, Oregon, once in San Diego at the big auditorium, but mostly in smaller gigs. The last time was at the Bluegrass Festival in Lexington, KY in the mid-1980s, when Brenton was brought on a prison bus from the Arizona State Penitentiary to perform with them. He was brought in leg irons (on a one-legged man!) on a big gray prison bus; was hustled on and off the stage by armed guards, and we couldn't visit with him; but he'd fought in court for the privilege of appearing, and won, as he always did.
