Woke up every weekday morning to this show on WDBJ Ch. 7 Roanoke Va. Sheffield Ave./Towers Shopping Ctr. I use to ride my bike to the station in hopes of seeing my Bluegrass hero's.
it's during the twin banjo part with just Don and Ralph. Also read the info in the video description. They aren't really playing what's being heard in the video. ruclips.net/video/P52QD1yBBso/видео.html
they only did two for Kroger. But they did a TV show for channel WDBJ called the "Top O' The Morning" show for many years. Unfortunately those shows were not saved. Back then they used the same film over and over and recorded over the previous shows. Think of the hours and hours of great music that was lost. Such a shame.
That's Don Reno's guitar not Red's. The guy playing it is Steve Chapman. He usually played electric guitar with Reno and Smiley. He later went on to play with Ernest Tubb.
The bassist Duck Austin? Is playing some great bass here. In doing some research on the Tennessee Cut-Ups not much out there and no info this fine bassist anywhere…. Anybody got anymore info or could direct me to a web site? These guys were a great group of musicians. S
Reno and Smiley's bass player was John Palmer. I run the Reno and Smiley fan club on FB. Plenty of info there. And you can message me there with any questions as well. facebook.com/groups/renoandsmileyfanclub
That smile says it all when they played together!

Nothing but greatness
This is really cool. I've never seen it before. Thanks for sharing it!
Don was unreal
フラット＆スクラッグスのTVショーはDVDやネット動画をかなり見ましたが、テネシーカットアップスのTVショーはほとんど知りませんでした。スタンレーとのコラボが豪華ですね。❤
Red Smiley was my grandfather's 1st cousin. He passed away in 74 from diabetes complications
Really cool Ralph and Don swapped banjos for fun
When in the video does that happen I don't see either switch

Awesome stuff

How many Reno and Smiley programs were made? I've only seen this one and the first one.

And what year reds D-45 ? And where is it at ?
It was a 1938 model. It is owned by a Japanese collector last I heard. www.chiefnoda.com/pict/pwd45/index.html
At age 14 I got to play Red's guitar. He stayed at our house one night. I believe most of the guitar is a 1938. The back isn't original.
Who is playing Red's D-28 with the double pick guards?

Jason Skinner thanks. I thought it was Red's 1940 D-28.
