The Stonemans had such a versatility about them...and with two hot looking gal harmony singers, they could equal or surpass ANY of the commercial Nashville acts! Looking back, this band was way ahead of its time.
I saw them all in person about 1965 at the Mint Hotel in Las Vegas. They appeared with Mac Wiseman. They were very good entertainers. Pops Stoneman was still with them at that time.
Yay!!! My parents were crazy mad for the Stonemans back in the 1960's. . .so I grew up listening to their music. I would love to see SOMEBODY post episodes from their syndicated TV show from this period. . .thank you, eileenkabush for giving us this.
The Stonemans were a lot of fun. :-) This video was from a great old movie called "Road to Nashville". If you haven't seen it, check it out. There were lots of great performances from several different stars.
my name is robert i am roni stonemans youngest son. i would like to take a minute to thank everyone for there wonderful comments! i have tried to find my uncle scott in a video but to no avail that would be great if someone could come up with one! thank you for posting this so very much!
A tremendous loss for the fans of your mother (& country music). She was extra talented in banjo, comedy, singing on some tunes--- all around entertainer!!! So sorry for family. ❤
I have one! The video is from Arthur Godfrey's talent scouts, from 1956. It features a band with Jimmy Case, Porter Church and Donna, Jimmy & Scotty Stoneman. I have tried to upload it, but am pretty new to RUclips and my attempts failed. Will try again and let you know here when I succeed.
In 1968 Stonemans came to Indpls with, and the show boojed in THIS order, Bill Anderson,Loretta Lynn,Stonemans,Waylon Jennings, Waylon was in an OLD early 50's Gm Bus I went in it it was ROUGH.Bill Anderson and Loretta had Eagles,didn't see STonemans Bus, GUESS who Put on the best show Yep Stonemans, We walked out on Bill Anderson show because it was SO BAD,After Stonemans I Think Loretta came on then We left The Stonemans BLEW all of them AWAY:)
A few people here been asking for a video w. Scotty Stoneman. Have finally managed to get it up on RUclips. Look under "Stoneman Family on Arthur Godfrey" It's from 1956, features Donna, Scotty & Jimmy Stoneman. The video quality isn't too good, but it's better than nothing.
His name is Jerry Monday, and he was brought in when Van was recovering from an automobile accident. He fitted in so well that the Stonemans kept him on after Van recovered.

Hi. Your mother is incredible. You should be proud of her. Maybe the best banjo player ever.
@@christophercasey6775 Roni Stoneman is a Goddess
What an incredible legacy you have.
Unfortunately very sad day for you and your family today.
A tremendous loss for the fans of your mother (& country music). She was extra talented in banjo, comedy, singing on some tunes--- all around entertainer!!! So sorry for family. ❤

I have been in love with Van's voice for years. I wish they were all still with us.
I Love this
Fantastic.
Donna played a great mandolin while dancing. Patsy played autoharp and she signed my autoharp. Roni played banjo.
I still have a crush on Roni Stoneman.
Saw them many years ago in Oxford Pennsylvania when I was a kid...
Wish somebody would put up the Stonemans doing "Colorado." "Colorado, it smiles in the sky... Colorado, it's high, the climate's dry..."
That old lady from the hee Haw show look pretty good in her day her sister did as well

great song
Another good one!!!Thanks....MJ
I'm a little disappointed that Donna wasn't playing her mandolin.
Hardly recognize Donna without her mandolin.
Please correct me if I’m wrong: I think this is a scene from the feature length documentary film called “A Mighty Wind”.

it's a shame this song never featured on The Walking Dead
do you have "Bottle of Wine" by the stonemans?

Roni is pretty
Who is the guy with the eyeglasses standing between Roni and Van?
