Yeah." Marty and His Fabulous Superlatives performed
"Cajun Baby."
Marty said, "Profound
wisdom, Mr. Skaggs." Eddie said, " 'You Can't Hurt
Ham', especially if it's salt- or sugar-cured country
ham. Thank you, Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder."
Eddie promoted Connie Smith's boxed CD set, Jsust
For What I Am. After a commercial break, Marty
said, "Welcome back, everybody. How 'bout a hand for
Mr. Ricky Skaggs." Ricky said, "Thank ya, son." Marty
continued, "And representin' Kentucky Thunder, Mr.
Justin Moses. Good job, Justin. And how 'bout a hand
for Miss Connie Smith, everybody. Hi Constance."
Connie said, "Hi honey." Marty said, "Who's that
pretty girl standin' next to ya." Connie said, "That's
my baby girl, Jodi Seyfried." Marty said, "Well,
Jodi's gonna sing with us and this recording goes back
to your Columbia days, and there's a familiar
voice singing with ya on this record. Who might that
be?" Connie said, "Mr. Ricky Skaggs." Marty said,
"Well, let's put him to work again. A song written by
Mr. Steve Earle and Mr. Jimbeau Hinson. How bout a
hand for Connie, Ricky, and Jodi with 'A Far Cry From
You'. Justin, you got it." 
Marty said, "That's
pretty, is what that is. There they go. All my
friends left me. Not a friend in this world,
except Ricky Skaggs. How 'bout a hand for Mr.
Skaggs. Come in, Rick." Ricky said, "Great to be
back on your show, Marty." Marty said, "It's
wonderful to have ya. You show up, we put ya to
work today."Ricky said, "Workin' me like a rented
mule." Marty continued, "That's right. Hey I was
thinkin' about somethin' when I was watchin' you
play over there. The first bluegrass festival that
I ever got to go to, big one, was in Bean Blossom,
Indiana about 1970." Ricky said, "I remember
that." Marty said, "Got out of the car and the
first two people I saw was Ricky Skaggs and Keith
Whitley. Big bluegrass stars. Y'all were playin'
with Ralph Stanley." Ricky said, "We was." Marty
continued, "Another act that was on that show that
weekend was Mr. Doc Watson and his son Merle."
Ricky said, "That's right." Marty said, "And I'd
never seen Doc before. And he and Bill Monroe
played this song right here." Ricky said, "Yeah."
Marty continued, "What do ya think?" Ricky said,
"Let's do it." Marty said, "Mr. Ricky Skaggs is
gonna play 'The Watson Blues'." 
After a commercial break,
Marty said, "Welcome back. I'm honored to tell ya that
the great state of Mississippi is the sponsor of this
show and let me tell ya about an event that takes
place in my hometown of Philadelphia, Mississippi
during the last week of July. It's the granddaddy of
all county fairs. I'm talkin' about the Neshoba County
Fair. It's a world-famous get together that dates back
to 1889. Some people refer to it as Mississippi's
giant house party, and it's a sight to behold. Lots of
local folks move out to the fairgrounds for the week
and stay in their customized fair cabins. People come
from all over the world to visit, eat good food, watch
the harness races, listen to music and speeches from
candidates that range from the Mayor to United States
Presidents. You'll not meet a stranger because
everybody's welcome at the Neshoba County Fair in
Philadelphia, Mississippi. So how 'bout hand for dear
ole Mississippi and that red-dirt spectacular known as
the Neshoba County Fair. And, Superlatives? How 'bout
a hand for the ole Tennessee Slicker. Here is Leroy
Troy. Hello, Leroy. Hello dear pal." 
Leroy: "Good night."
After a commercial break, Eddie promoted the Picture
and Concert Tour Book Volume 1. They
showed a video of Lester Flatt talking with a
seven-year-old Ricky Skaggs. Eddie said, "And now,
let's get back to Marty Stuart and our special guests
Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder." Marty said, "Give
that Eddie Stubbs a hand if you would. What do ya say,
Ricky?" Ricky said, "I think it's right on." Marty
said, "Look here. He brought the fan club with him."
Ricky said, "There's a Stubbs man. You can't hurt
Stubbs." Marty said, "No ya can't. And you can't hurt
Skaggs." Ricky said, "Awww, thanks boy." Marty said,
"I tell ya what. I said Modern Master in motion and I
mean it. I have so much love and admiration and
respect for you as a man but also your music. You've
never played anything less than excellent music. Thank
you so much." Ricky said, "Back atcha boy. I love
you." Marty said, "Well, I love you, too. Can I get
outta your way. Would you play another one?" Ricky
said, "All right. This is from our new CD called Music
To My Ears." Marty said, "Yes, sir." Ricky
continued, "An old Monroe tune." Marty said, "What's
it called?" Ricky said, "Blue Night." Marty said, "How
'bout a hand for Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder.
All right, Cody."
