    Country Hoedown was a Canadian country music television series which
    aired on CBC Television from 1956 to 1965. This is possibly the
    earliest surviving television performance footage of this artist:

    "(Remember Me) I'm the One" - Gordon Lighfoot 1962.

    Old Man Schultz was a Knoxville TV show hosted (in character) by local DJ Claude Tomlinson. No clips of musical performances are known to survive. All that is known to exist are the filmed opening and closing sequences, and some brief footage of OMS w/his hunting dog.



    Tomlinson was such a big deal in Knoxville he even wrote a memoir:

    He was only in his 30s when he played the OMS character.

    An uber-young Marty Stuart on mandolin & backing vocals on The Porter Wagoner Show, w/Lester Flatt & The Nashville Greens.

    (Did a thread search before posting & didn't come up - though, if upload-only w/out text (artist name(s) & or song title(s) typed in, IT-wise, won't come up on thread search....good FYI for members.)

    Not quite the same, but Lefty also did "Saginaw, Michigan" in the film Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar (1965)

    The Saturday Nite Jamboree was a 3 hours live country/bluegrass music show that was produced by WCPT-TV in Crossville TN from the around 1977 through about 1980 and had appearances by Cumberland Plateau bands that would come in from Jamestown, Sparta and other places as well. In addition, there were special guests including Phil Campbell, Steve Kaufman and many more. The show was replayed each Sunday afternoon. Almost none of the show remains except for a single one hour tape that was rescued and digitized by the talented folks at the Tennessee Archive of Moving Image and Sound in Knoxville. ​

    Springfield, Missouri - Wikipedia

    During the 1950s, Springfield ranked third in the U.S. for originating network television programs, behind New York and Hollywood. Four nationally broadcast television series originated from the city between 1955 and 1961: Ozark Jubilee and its spin-off, Five Star Jubilee; Talent Varieties; and The Eddy Arnold Show. All were carried live by ABC except for Five Star Jubilee on NBC and were produced by Springfield's Crossroads TV Productions, owned by Ralph D. Foster. Many of the biggest names in country music frequently visited or lived in Springfield at the time. City officials estimated the programs meant about 2,000 weekly visitors and "over $1,000,000 in fresh income."

    Staged at the Jewell Theatre (demolished in 1961), Ozark Jubilee was the first national country music TV show to feature top stars and attract a significant viewership. Five Star Jubilee, produced from the Landers Theatre, was the first network color television series to originate outside of New York City or Hollywood. Ironically, Springfield's NBC affiliate, KYTV-TV (which helped produce the program), was not equipped to broadcast in color and aired the show in black-and-white.

    The ABC, NBC and Mutual radio networks also all carried country music shows nationally from Springfield during the decade, including KWTO'S Korn's-A-Krackin' (Mutual).​

    Fantastic -- but what is Ira playing here? some sort of ukulele?

    It's definitely a mandolin. Four doubled strings, and you can hear Ira strumming it during the guitar solo (and see him playing mandolin chords elsewhere).

    But it does have a very unusual body. Don't think I've ever seen one like it.

    Maybe it's heavy-duty construction: Ira was famous for dashing his mandolin to the floor when something wasn't to his liking!

    Bobby Lord is an intriguing figure. He eventually became an eternally smiling, smooth as silk TV host, but he started out as a raw rockabilly honky tonker, as in this 1956 clip from the Ozark Jubilee:
