Sam and Kirk McGee, an old-time duo, were pioneers of country music, playing on WSM's Barn Dance in 1926 and were 'regulars' on the Grand Ole Opry  for over 40 years.  <br />
<br />
In the folk revival of the 1960's, they enjoyed a resurgence of  even-greater popularity as their music, considered bedrock in the American folk tradition, was introduced to a new generation. <br />
<br />
In the Spring of 1966, Sam and Kirk played onstage at the Ryman Auditorium.  As usual, Sam brought the house down with his legendary guitar picking, cutting loose on a solo rag.
