njanvilman Posted January 2, 2015 Share Posted January 2, 2015 Beverly Hillbillies was one of my favorite shows growing up. And more important, it introduced me to Bluegrass Music and Earl Scruggs on the banjo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThomasPowers Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I'll ring the anvil for her; Granny always reminded me of my great grandmothers. Always liked Jed and Granny over the younguns; but sure did prefer Elly May to Jethro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
