Jerry, Chet, Paul, and Pat B. play mule skinner blues

[Ray Bohlken]

I sure miss shows like American Music Shop that used to be on TNN (almost typed CNN). This is a great rendition of this song and Chet played a wonderful lead part.

Hey Ray!
I clicked on the link and was taken to a page of "garbage numbers", etc., with a message at the bottom saying something about "a team of highly trained monkeys being sent to deal with the problem". I haven't seen that before.

One thing I'd like to point out about that clip from American Music Shop is that I got the copy of this show from Eddie who I believe originally recorded on Super VHS whne it aired, so the quality is very nice. You would think whoever put out the dvd commercially of this show that they would have gotten a better copy to transfer to a commercial dvd. The copy I have of this show that I got from Eddie is almost dvd quality, while the commercial dvd is crappy quality.

One show I really need a super excellent copy of is the Austin City Limits with Chet and the Cluster Pluckers. Does anyone have a nice copy of this? I know I've asked this before and I got a couple copies from some folks but they were actually worse than the current copy I have.

It would be neat if ACL put out a dvd box set out with all of the Chet episodes. I'm in the process of making my own personal custom dvd box set that why I need a nice copy of this episode.

Yep on a good old JVC SuperVHS.

I wish someone would take the old films of Chet from the 50s scan the negatives and resynch the audio and put them out on Blu Ray. They would look awesome!

Hi Rande, I tried the link again and I worked fine for me. There is a commercial that plays before the song, but I can't imagine a commercial with garbage numbers in it. Give it another try and see...it was a good video.
Great to hear from you...take care.

I recorded mine on Betamax. That was a real adventure converting it to VHS and ultimately to DVD. Sadly, the source Beta tape wasn't all that good, so I have some lines and discoloration in my copies of these shows. It would be great to have Blu-ray so Ray wouldn't be blue...sorry about that, folks...I can't resist a pun. Promotions at work came hard for me as a result.
