I'm so old I Remember when:

Back when I was doing re-enactments in the 80's and 90's, I was in northern Alabama around a campfire. A fellow was playing period songs from the mid 1860's on a banjo (and he was good). He asked for request and some one (jokingly) called out "Ode to Joy". He played it and it was GREAT.
Someone called out "Yeah, but do you know the words". So he played it again AND sang the words. MAN that was glorious night.
You never know who is going to be around those campfires. I have actually met Doctors, Lawyers and Indian Chiefs.
But could he play some Skynyrd? 🧐

If this was today someone would have filmed it. It would have been nice to see and hear.
 
I remember

Lum & Abner

Fibber McGee and Molly

Abbott & Costello

Red Skelton

Bob Hope and Bing Crosby and their "On the Road" movies.
I had to look up Lum & Abner but I have heard the rest.
My local favorites were Jerry Clower and Justin Wilson.
Justin is the reason I still have trouble with 'English'.
