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. Here are two songs from what remains of the Saturday Nite Jamboree.
Tall Pines, played on the Autoharp by Jim Young. I learned this
song from Danny Bailey and Red Rector of the Cas Walker Farm & Home Hour.
This was an old Bill Monroe song.
The Old Home Place, originally by the Dillards of The Andy Griffith Show fame.
Another one I learned from the Farm & Home Hour band.
