0:06:02 > 0:06:05Talking about the archaeologists digging up all the bones and
0:06:05 > 0:06:08the white man tracing his ancestors all the way back to the monkeys.
0:06:08 > 0:06:09He says the Indians can't do that
0:06:09 > 0:06:13because they dig up old Indian bones, it's still an Indian.
0:06:13 > 0:06:16He said, "But you can call yourselves apes if you want to."
0:06:16 > 0:06:18It was pretty good.

0:06:46 > 0:06:50# Oh, give all your love and all your of heart
0:06:50 > 0:06:54# And do what you do do well... #
0:06:54 > 0:06:57Hey, Tommy, what do you like to sing?
0:06:57 > 0:07:00Well, I'd like to sing a song that Carl Perkins wrote for me
0:07:00 > 0:07:02- a few months ago, that I think... - Let her rip
0:07:02 > 0:07:05- ..bit to say for everybody. - Let her rip.

0:07:21 > 0:07:25# And jump right back and rise and shine

0:07:27 > 0:07:30# Shine your light all through the day
0:07:30 > 0:07:32# Makes no difference what they tell you
0:07:32 > 0:07:34# Stand right up and have your say
0:07:34 > 0:07:37# Cos the good Lord said he loved you
0:07:37 > 0:07:39# And through him new strength you'll find
0:07:39 > 0:07:41# Even though the world may use you
0:07:41 > 0:07:44# Get up now, go rise and shine... #
0:07:44 > 0:07:47That's a good idea. That's a good one.
0:07:47 > 0:07:52# Do what you do do well, boy
0:07:52 > 0:07:56# Do what you do do well
0:07:56 > 0:08:00# Oh, give all your love and all of your heart
0:08:00 > 0:08:04# And do what you do do well. #
0:08:04 > 0:08:09- Mr Ike was talking about this song he got called Muskrat.- Yeah.
0:08:09 > 0:08:12- For years, Merle Travis, you know Merle...- Oh, yeah.
0:08:12 > 0:08:16..he's an old friend of yours too. He called me Musk-hog or Muskrat.
0:08:16 > 0:08:18- He called you what?- And I never thought anything about it.
0:08:18 > 0:08:22But it got to eating on me after a while and one day I asked him.
0:08:22 > 0:08:26I said, "Travis, what are you calling me Musk-hog for? Muskrat?"
0:08:26 > 0:08:29And he just grinned and wouldn't tell me.
0:08:29 > 0:08:32I got to thinking about it later, you know?
0:08:32 > 0:08:34Any musk animal's got an awful smell about them.
0:08:34 > 0:08:36THEY LAUGH
0:08:36 > 0:08:39- You reckon he was trying to tell me something?- I don't think so.
0:08:39 > 0:08:41- You smell, do you?- Let's do a little Muskrat.
0:08:41 > 0:08:42What do you say? Let's go.
0:08:45 > 0:08:48# Muskrat, muskrat
0:08:48 > 0:08:50# What makes your head so slick?
0:08:50 > 0:08:52# Been livin' in the water all my life
0:08:52 > 0:08:54# It's a wonder I ain't sick
0:08:54 > 0:08:56# I ain't sick, I ain't sick
0:08:56 > 0:08:58# I ain't sick, I ain't sick... #
0:08:58 > 0:09:00C'mon, guys.
0:09:00 > 0:09:02C'mon get dirty.
0:09:08 > 0:09:09Woo-ha!
0:09:11 > 0:09:12Tear it up, Ike!
0:09:12 > 0:09:14# Rooster, rooster
0:09:14 > 0:09:16# What makes your claws so hard?
0:09:16 > 0:09:18# I've been scratchin' in the barnyard all my life
0:09:18 > 0:09:20# It's a wonder I ain't tired
0:09:20 > 0:09:22# I ain't tired, I ain't tired
0:09:22 > 0:09:25# I ain't tired, I ain't tired
0:09:32 > 0:09:34Watch your language there, Dad!
0:09:36 > 0:09:39Let's see about that old tomcat.
0:09:39 > 0:09:41# Tomcat, tomcat
0:09:41 > 0:09:43# What makes your tail so long?
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Let's hear some tomcats out there now.
0:09:45 > 0:09:48THEY ALL MIAOW
0:09:48 > 0:09:50That's pretty good tomcats but I want you to listen to this.

0:09:54 > 0:09:56Well, I'm not the tomcat I used to be.
0:09:56 > 0:09:58# I've been prowlin' around all my life
0:09:58 > 0:09:59# It's a wonder I ain't gone
0:09:59 > 0:10:02# I ain't gone, I ain't gone
0:10:02 > 0:10:04# I ain't gone, I ain't gone
0:10:07 > 0:10:10# Do what you do do well, boy
0:10:10 > 0:10:13# Do what you do do well
0:10:14 > 0:10:19# Oh, give all your love and all of your of heart
0:10:19 > 0:10:22# And do what you do do well. #
0:10:22 > 0:10:25Don, Phil, you know what I enjoy most about your records
0:10:25 > 0:10:27and songs you've recorded?
0:10:27 > 0:10:30What I like best is the old folk songs.
0:10:30 > 0:10:32You really do a beautiful job on them.
0:10:34 > 0:10:40# In a vine-covered shack in the mountains
0:10:40 > 0:10:46# Bravely fighting the battle of time
0:10:46 > 0:10:51# Is a dear one who's weathered life's sorrows
0:10:51 > 0:10:56# It's that silver-haired daddy of mine
0:10:57 > 0:11:02# If I could recall all the heartaches
0:11:02 > 0:11:08# Dear old daddy I've caused you to bear
0:11:08 > 0:11:13# If I could erase those lines from your face
0:11:13 > 0:11:17# And bring back the gold to your hair
0:11:19 > 0:11:24# If God would but grant me the power
0:11:24 > 0:11:29# Just to turn back the pages of time
0:11:29 > 0:11:34# I'd give all I own if I could but atone
0:11:34 > 0:11:39# To that silver-haired daddy of mine... #
0:11:39 > 0:11:40Play it, Dad.
0:11:51 > 0:11:55# If God would but grant me the power
0:11:55 > 0:12:00# Just to turn back the pages of time
0:12:00 > 0:12:05# I'd give all I own if I could but atone
0:12:05 > 0:12:09# To that silver-haired daddy of mine. #
0:12:09 > 0:12:12That's great.
0:12:12 > 0:12:14We've had a lot of requests on the show for that song.
0:12:14 > 0:12:17I'm sure glad you could sing it for us.
0:12:18 > 0:12:22# Do what you do do well, boy
0:12:22 > 0:12:27# Do what you do do well
0:12:27 > 0:12:31# Oh, give all your love and all of your heart
0:12:31 > 0:12:34# And do what you do do well. #
0:12:34 > 0:12:36John, you do something.
0:12:36 > 0:12:39- All right.- Tell you what he does well. I remember you used to pick cotton pretty well.
0:12:39 > 0:12:42I used to pick cotton pretty well, you know?
0:12:42 > 0:12:45And speaking of picking cotton, some songs don't tell it like it is
0:12:45 > 0:12:49- but they're worth singing because they're good songs.- That's right.
0:12:49 > 0:12:51# When I was just a baby
0:12:51 > 0:12:54# Too little for a cotton sack
0:12:54 > 0:12:55# I prayed in the dirt
0:12:55 > 0:12:57# While the others worked
0:12:57 > 0:12:59# Till they couldn't straighten up their backs
0:12:59 > 0:13:02# And I made myself a promise
0:13:02 > 0:13:04# When I was big enough to run
0:13:04 > 0:13:07# That I'd never stay a single day
0:13:07 > 0:13:09# In that Oklahoma sun
0:13:09 > 0:13:13# And I never picked cotton
0:13:13 > 0:13:14# Like my mother did
0:13:14 > 0:13:15# And my brother did
0:13:15 > 0:13:17# And my sister did
0:13:17 > 0:13:20# And my daddy died young
0:13:20 > 0:13:23# Workin' in a coal mine
0:13:23 > 0:13:26# It was Saturday night in Memphis
0:13:26 > 0:13:28# When a fella grabbed my shirt
0:13:28 > 0:13:31# And he said "Go back to your cotton sack"
0:13:31 > 0:13:33# I left him dying in the dirt
0:13:33 > 0:13:36# And they'll take me in the morning
0:13:36 > 0:13:38# To the gallows just outside
0:13:38 > 0:13:39# And in the time I've got
0:13:39 > 0:13:41# There ain't a heck of a lot
0:13:41 > 0:13:42# That I can look back on with pride
0:13:42 > 0:13:46# Except I never picked cotton
0:13:46 > 0:13:48# Like my mother did
0:13:48 > 0:13:49# And my brother did
0:13:49 > 0:13:50# And my sister did
0:13:50 > 0:13:53# And my daddy died young
0:13:53 > 0:13:56# Workin' in a coal mine
0:13:56 > 0:14:00# Do what you do do well, boy
0:14:00 > 0:14:04# Do what you do do well
0:14:04 > 0:14:08# Oh, give all your love and all of your heart
0:14:08 > 0:14:11# And do what you do do well. #
0:14:11 > 0:14:12Take us home now, Ike.
0:14:17 > 0:14:20- He's doing all right, ain't he, Momma?- He's doing fine.
0:14:20 > 0:14:23I want to get that coat off him. I was going to...
0:14:23 > 0:14:26Here, honey, let's take the coat off.
0:14:26 > 0:14:30Oh, goodness! I said take off my Johnny Cash coat.
0:14:30 > 0:14:32John Carter Cash coat.

0:16:42 > 0:16:44SHE LAUGHS
0:16:44 > 0:16:45Turn around.
0:16:49 > 0:16:53Wait, let's get some of this off him.
0:16:53 > 0:16:55Get him ready for bed.
0:16:55 > 0:16:57You want this off, baby?
0:16:57 > 0:16:59- HE LAUGHS - After the fight, Momma.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01SHE LAUGHS
0:17:01 > 0:17:03After the fight.
0:17:06 > 0:17:07You want to walk?
0:17:07 > 0:17:09SHE LAUGHS
0:17:23 > 0:17:25Your son.
0:17:25 > 0:17:26HE CRIES
0:17:26 > 0:17:29- Oh, goodness!- Ok. Well, all right.
0:17:29 > 0:17:32No, he doesn't want to go to sleep.
0:17:32 > 0:17:34Ok. Let's see the jack in the box.
0:17:51 > 0:17:53Not bad for nine months.
0:17:53 > 0:17:55SHE LAUGHS
0:17:55 > 0:17:58Tip on across there, honey.
0:17:58 > 0:18:00Walk for him.
0:18:00 > 0:18:01SHE LAUGHS
0:18:18 > 0:18:20You like the jack? Aw!
0:18:28 > 0:18:30How about that?
0:18:41 > 0:18:44THEY LAUGH
0:18:46 > 0:18:49You're not sleepy.
0:18:50 > 0:18:53Many years ago there lived a famous country singer
0:18:53 > 0:18:56by the name of John Cratchit.
0:18:56 > 0:19:00Cratchit was poverty stricken because of his manager and agent,
0:19:00 > 0:19:03a man called Sidney Scruggs.
0:19:06 > 0:19:09Scruggs was a miserly man who kept Cratchit working
0:19:09 > 0:19:11year after year, without a break.
0:19:11 > 0:19:16And on one very cold December morning at the turn of the century,
0:19:16 > 0:19:20John Cratchit was summoned to Mr Scruggs' office.
0:19:20 > 0:19:231,001...
0:19:23 > 0:19:251,002...
0:19:25 > 0:19:261,003...
0:19:26 > 0:19:30You know, it's funny how time flies when you're enjoying yourself.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31A thousand...
0:19:31 > 0:19:34All right, Cratchit, what is it? You know I'm a busy man.
0:19:34 > 0:19:36What do you want?
0:19:36 > 0:19:38You sent for me, Mr Scruggs.
0:19:38 > 0:19:42Let's not have any of your lip, Cratchit. You know, Glen Campbell isn't that busy.
0:19:42 > 0:19:47- I'm sorry.- 1,004... Sorry? Sorry don't feed the bulldog.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50Incidentally, what is this bill for? A guitar string, ten cents.
0:19:50 > 0:19:53Well, you see, I broke a string on my guitar.
0:19:53 > 0:19:56And you bought a new one? Well, isn't...
0:19:56 > 0:19:58You know, Cratchit, you are a spendthrift.
0:19:58 > 0:20:02You should make do with the other strings on your guitar.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04There's not any other strings on my guitar.
0:20:04 > 0:20:06Well, learn to play the wood!
0:20:06 > 0:20:10Well, Mr Scruggs, I need money for food and clothing and...
0:20:10 > 0:20:14Boo! Cratchit, that's a bummer.
0:20:14 > 0:20:18Well, Mr Scruggs, how about some money to fix up my house?
0:20:18 > 0:20:21- We got bedbugs and ants and termites.- Humbug!
0:20:21 > 0:20:23We got some of them too, I think.
0:20:23 > 0:20:26Now, look. Cratchit, you're working, don't you understand?
0:20:26 > 0:20:30- I've set up another tour for you. - Oh, but Mr Scruggs, no, no.
0:20:30 > 0:20:32Tomorrow night is Christmas Eve.
0:20:32 > 0:20:36My family, my children, they'll all be looking down the path
0:20:36 > 0:20:38to see their dear old daddy come home.
0:20:38 > 0:20:40Their noses will be pressed against the window pane.
0:20:40 > 0:20:42They'll all be there to meet me,
0:20:42 > 0:20:47arms reaching, smiling sweetly when again I touch...
0:20:47 > 0:20:54# The green, green grass of home. #
0:20:54 > 0:20:56Cratchit, that's beautiful.
0:20:56 > 0:20:58But the thing is, Cratchit, you're working.
0:20:58 > 0:21:01Tomorrow night you play Houston, Abilene, Kansas City and Toledo.
0:21:01 > 0:21:04And the next night you open in Hawaii.
0:21:04 > 0:21:08Incidentally, as you go west, be sure you get gas in San Francisco
0:21:08 > 0:21:11because it's the last stop before you get to Honolulu.
0:21:14 > 0:21:17Get your grubby little fingers off of it.
0:21:17 > 0:21:21Well, things looked mighty bleak for John Cratchit.
0:21:21 > 0:21:24He wouldn't be able to spend Christmas Eve at home with his wife and children
0:21:24 > 0:21:28but they weren't downhearted because what they lacked in material means
0:21:28 > 0:21:31they more than made up for in happiness.
0:21:31 > 0:21:34And they all loved to sing.
0:21:34 > 0:21:37Ok, don't worry about it, kids. Don't worry. Oh, quiet!
0:21:37 > 0:21:40Quiet! Quiet!
0:21:40 > 0:21:41Here comes Daddy now!
0:21:41 > 0:21:44HE PLAYS GUITAR
0:21:46 > 0:21:49Hi, how's everybody?
0:21:49 > 0:21:51I need a shirt.
0:21:51 > 0:21:53# I need a coat.
0:21:53 > 0:21:55# We need a dress.
0:21:55 > 0:21:57# I need some socks.
0:21:57 > 0:21:59# We need a hit!
0:21:59 > 0:22:01# I need a bath.
0:22:01 > 0:22:05# ALL: Oh, yeah! #
0:22:07 > 0:22:09Honey, we don't have much, but one thing about it,
0:22:09 > 0:22:12the family's always singing.
0:22:12 > 0:22:14I know. It's what's driving me crazy.
0:22:16 > 0:22:18And how's Tiny Tom today?
0:22:18 > 0:22:22Oh, Tiny Tom. Poor Tiny, he can't talk.
0:22:22 > 0:22:24But I think he's happy.
0:22:26 > 0:22:29- Honey, I have some bad news for you. - Oh.
0:22:29 > 0:22:33I'm afraid I won't be able to spend Christmas Eve with you and the children.
0:22:33 > 0:22:36Why, that mean old Mr Scruggs.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40You mean he's not going to let you spend Christmas Eve at home?
0:22:40 > 0:22:44- I'm sorry.- Oh, but we want you here.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46And we'll need you here.
0:22:46 > 0:22:48And we'll be here waiting.
0:22:48 > 0:22:51Waiting to meet you, arms reaching,
0:22:51 > 0:22:55smiling sweetly, when again we touch...
0:22:55 > 0:23:04# ALL: The green, green grass of home! #
0:23:05 > 0:23:08I tried that, honey, but I still have to work.
0:23:08 > 0:23:10Never mind, dear. Just sit down, relax.
0:23:10 > 0:23:13- Relax, dear, and I'll get supper ready.- Oh, thank you.
0:23:13 > 0:23:16That's a good idea. Where are my slippers?
0:23:16 > 0:23:19That's what we're having for supper.
0:23:19 > 0:23:21Sole food.
0:23:21 > 0:23:27# ALL: Woah, yeah! #
0:23:27 > 0:23:30Yes, times were hard for the Cratchits
0:23:30 > 0:23:34but they were beginning to get a little rough for Sidney Scruggs too.
0:23:34 > 0:23:37Because on that very night, while he was sleeping,
0:23:37 > 0:23:41he had three mysterious visitors.
0:23:43 > 0:23:45Now I lay me down to sleep,
0:23:45 > 0:23:47counting money instead of sheep.
0:23:47 > 0:23:50Some folks say I'm mighty cheap,
0:23:50 > 0:23:52but so what?
0:23:52 > 0:23:55Right, Teddy? Goodnight.
0:23:55 > 0:23:56HE SNORES
0:24:05 > 0:24:09- Howdy! Howdy, big spender. - Who are you?
0:24:09 > 0:24:11Where are you? Wh-wh-what are you doing here?
0:24:11 > 0:24:13You don't remember Old Minnie, huh?
0:24:13 > 0:24:15Well, I was your slave for years
0:24:15 > 0:24:19and now you're trying to do the same thing to poor John Cratchit.
0:24:19 > 0:24:23You're nothing but an old, cheap, miserly, heartless skinflint.
0:24:23 > 0:24:25You left out disgusting.
0:24:25 > 0:24:27I can't remember everything.
0:24:27 > 0:24:30- But I can remember the way you treated me.- All right, Minnie.
0:24:30 > 0:24:32What is it you want from me?
0:24:32 > 0:24:34I want you to help the Cratchits.
0:24:34 > 0:24:37They're all very unhappy.
0:24:37 > 0:24:41I know that, Minnie, but happiness isn't everything.
0:24:41 > 0:24:46Scruggs, each dollar you make forges another link in the devil's chain.
0:24:46 > 0:24:47Is that what you want?
0:24:47 > 0:24:49Satan's necklace?
0:24:49 > 0:24:51Well, maybe a small bracelet.
0:24:51 > 0:24:53I've got to go now, Scruggs.
0:24:53 > 0:24:56I have someone a little more important to haunt.
0:24:56 > 0:24:58- Who's that?- Colonel Sanders.
0:25:02 > 0:25:04Ooh, nice. Finger licking good.
0:25:07 > 0:25:09HE SNORES
0:25:11 > 0:25:14Wake up, boy! You in a heap of trouble, you hear?
0:25:14 > 0:25:17What? Officer, what are you doing here?
0:25:17 > 0:25:20I'm the ghost of Christmas future.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23- How come you're dressed like a sheriff?- I'm moonlighting.
0:25:23 > 0:25:27- But you're still in a heap of trouble, boy.- What's the matter?
0:25:27 > 0:25:28Was I sleeping too fast?
0:25:28 > 0:25:34Scruggs, I got you marked down for being an old, cheap, miserly,
0:25:34 > 0:25:36stingy, heartless skinflint.
0:25:36 > 0:25:38You know what? You forgot infuriating.
0:25:38 > 0:25:41Well, I got you down for a lot of things, boy.
0:25:41 > 0:25:44Don't say nothing about you being no firebug. You shape up, boy,
0:25:44 > 0:25:48or I'm going to tow away your bed and lock up your teddy bear.
0:25:48 > 0:25:49Not my teddy bear.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52Sheriff, please don't take my teddy bear.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55- Sheriff, I'll change, I promise I'll change.- That's what they all say.
0:25:55 > 0:25:58But unless you do, boy, there's going to be enough charges
0:25:58 > 0:26:01piled up against you to put you away for ever.
0:26:01 > 0:26:03No, no. Please, no, no. I'll change, really.
0:26:03 > 0:26:06Starting tomorrow, I'm going to make it up to the Cratchits
0:26:06 > 0:26:08and I'm going to become a better person.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12And, officer, Merry Christmas.
0:26:12 > 0:26:14Ho-ho-ho!
0:26:14 > 0:26:16Humbug, y'all!
0:26:18 > 0:26:22As Scruggs had promised, the next day found him a changed man.
0:26:22 > 0:26:25He greeted the day with a smile instead of a scowl.
0:26:25 > 0:26:28Meanwhile, back at the Cratchit's,
0:26:28 > 0:26:32John and family were trying to make the most of a lean Christmas.
0:26:33 > 0:26:34THEY CHATTER
0:26:34 > 0:26:39Oh, I'm so happy we're all together at Christmas, for Christmas dinner.
0:26:39 > 0:26:42You know, we don't hardly have nothing to eat
0:26:42 > 0:26:45but I have a special treat for us.
0:26:45 > 0:26:47- THEY CHATTER - What is it?
0:26:47 > 0:26:50Well, we couldn't afford much but here it is...
0:26:50 > 0:26:51A picture...
0:26:51 > 0:26:53of a turkey!
0:26:53 > 0:26:55Oh, Mother!
0:26:55 > 0:26:57Isn't that wonderful!
0:26:57 > 0:26:59Isn't that great? Now we have everything.
0:26:59 > 0:27:02If only you could be with us Christmas, on Christmas Day.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05If you didn't have to work for Mr Scruggs.
0:27:05 > 0:27:07And if only Tiny Tom could talk.
0:27:09 > 0:27:13Well, we've got this much to be thankful for.
0:27:13 > 0:27:15Everybody gets a piece of the picture.
0:27:15 > 0:27:19Yes, if only we had some pictures of cranberry sauce.
0:27:19 > 0:27:20THEY LAUGH
0:27:20 > 0:27:22KNOCK ON DOOR
0:27:22 > 0:27:25Come in! Come in and welcome to the Cratchit's.
0:27:25 > 0:27:27Ho-ho-ho!
0:27:27 > 0:27:28Santa Claus!
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Are you really Santa Claus?
0:27:30 > 0:27:34No, I'm building a boat in a bottle and I dropped in to see if you
0:27:34 > 0:27:38could tell me where I can get a very small jar of poop deck polish.
0:27:38 > 0:27:41That ain't Santa Claus! That's Mr Scruggs!
0:27:41 > 0:27:43ALL: Yeah!
0:27:43 > 0:27:46You're right. You are absolutely right.
0:27:46 > 0:27:49I am Mr Scruggs but I am a new Mr Scruggs.
0:27:49 > 0:27:54John and June, I know I have been an old, cheap, miserly, stingy, heartless skinflint.
0:27:54 > 0:27:57ALL: You forgot disgusting!
0:27:57 > 0:28:00Well, tonight I'm going to make it up to all of you.
0:28:00 > 0:28:02John, you don't have to work tonight.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04You can take the whole week off.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06THEY CHEER

0:28:17 > 0:28:19Here, Tiny Tom. Here, honey.
0:28:22 > 0:28:26- Oh, no! Don't eat it. - Don't eat the money, Tiny Tom.
0:28:26 > 0:28:28Well, he doesn't know what money is, Mr Scruggs.
0:28:28 > 0:28:33Let me thank you for Tiny Tom. He still hasn't said a word.
0:28:33 > 0:28:36Now, Cratchit, the big surprise of the evening.
0:28:36 > 0:28:40An ordinary Christmas dinner isn't good enough for you and your family
0:28:40 > 0:28:44because the shabby way I've treated you, I've got to make up for it.
0:28:44 > 0:28:47I have hired the greatest food consultant in the land
0:28:47 > 0:28:49to bring you a Christmas dinner from all over the world.
0:28:49 > 0:28:51THEY GASP

0:29:15 > 0:29:18Next, from the Hollywood Ham Company, a 100-pound ham.
0:29:18 > 0:29:20THEY CHEER
0:29:20 > 0:29:23Remember, when it comes to ham, people go to Hollywood.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25And now, to add a little spice to your Christmas meal,

0:29:52 > 0:29:53Thank you and Merry Christmas.
0:29:53 > 0:29:55THEY CHEER
0:29:55 > 0:29:58- Thank you, Mr Scruggs. - Thank you, Mr Scruggs.
0:29:58 > 0:30:02Mr Scruggs, we certainly do appreciate your generosity.
0:30:02 > 0:30:05- Everybody, dig in.- Oh, yes. Everybody dig in.
0:30:05 > 0:30:08THEY CHATTER AND CLAMOUR
0:30:08 > 0:30:10Tiny Tom isn't touching his food.
0:30:10 > 0:30:14What is the matter? What's wrong, son?
0:30:14 > 0:30:17These are the worst potatoes I've ever eaten.
0:30:17 > 0:30:20- Tiny Tom talked!- Oh!
0:30:20 > 0:30:22THEY CHATTER EXCITEDLY
0:30:22 > 0:30:25- Tiny Tom.- They're the first words he's ever said!
0:30:25 > 0:30:29Tiny Tom, why have you waited all these years to speak?
0:30:29 > 0:30:34Cos up till now everything was OK.
0:30:34 > 0:30:36THEY CHEER
0:30:39 > 0:30:42Well, that just about ends our story
0:30:42 > 0:30:45but John Cratchit went on to become a very popular performer.
0:30:45 > 0:30:50Until his manager, Sidney Scruggs, decided to change Cratchit's name.
0:30:50 > 0:30:54Now, today, if somewhere in this land, you should see a sign
0:30:54 > 0:30:59or a poster saying, "Now appearing, a boy named Sue."
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Go on and give him a listen, would you?
0:31:01 > 0:31:03He sure would appreciate it.
0:31:09 > 0:31:11Hey, how's everybody doing?
0:31:11 > 0:31:13How was the dinner?
0:31:13 > 0:31:16You have enough to eat, Marshall? Good boy.
0:31:16 > 0:31:17Welcome to our house.
0:31:17 > 0:31:21After supper at our house, everybody has to sing for their supper.
0:31:22 > 0:31:23OK?
0:31:23 > 0:31:27- We got the hot-seat right here. Sir...- I can't sing.
0:31:27 > 0:31:30Well, we'll get you to talk a little bit, later on, OK?
0:31:30 > 0:31:32We got the hot-seat right here.
0:31:32 > 0:31:35We got a bunch of guitars and I know we've got some great talent here
0:31:35 > 0:31:39that I think everybody would like to hear perform one more time.
0:31:39 > 0:31:42To begin things, right now,
0:31:42 > 0:31:46Johnny Cash would really like to present The Everly Brothers.
0:31:46 > 0:31:47THEY CHEER
0:31:47 > 0:31:48All right?
0:31:51 > 0:31:53Hey, I'm going to sit down here and enjoy.
0:31:54 > 0:31:58- Why don't we do something about home? - That's a good idea.
0:31:58 > 0:32:01Christmas is a time for thinking about such things.
0:32:13 > 0:32:19# Kentucky
0:32:22 > 0:32:27# You are the dearest land
0:32:27 > 0:32:32# Outside of Heaven to me
0:32:36 > 0:32:41# Kentucky
0:32:45 > 0:32:50# I miss your laurels
0:32:50 > 0:32:54# And your redbud trees
0:32:57 > 0:33:02# When I die
0:33:06 > 0:33:12# I want to rest upon a graceful
0:33:12 > 0:33:17# Mountain so high
0:33:20 > 0:33:25# For that is
0:33:29 > 0:33:36# Where God will look for me
0:33:38 > 0:33:44# Kentucky. #
0:33:50 > 0:33:52All right.
0:33:54 > 0:33:57I'm mighty proud of my friends and neighbours that are here at the party.
0:33:57 > 0:34:00My next door neighbour, right over the hill from me,
0:34:00 > 0:34:02is one of the finest people I've ever known,
0:34:02 > 0:34:05and one of the greatest talents. Roy, Roy Orbison.
0:34:05 > 0:34:08THEY CHEER
0:34:10 > 0:34:11Thanks, buddy.
0:34:11 > 0:34:15Roy, your records are fantastic. Pretty Woman is one of the biggest records of all time.
0:34:15 > 0:34:18A lot of the songs you've written have been great
0:34:18 > 0:34:21but I'd sure like to hear the real Roy Orbison.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23OK. This is just me.
0:34:23 > 0:34:26# Pretty paper
0:34:26 > 0:34:30# Pretty ribbons of blue
0:34:33 > 0:34:35# Crowded streets
0:34:35 > 0:34:37# Busy feet
0:34:37 > 0:34:40# Hustle by him
0:34:41 > 0:34:43# Downtown shoppers
0:34:43 > 0:34:47# Christmas is nigh
0:34:48 > 0:34:50# There he sits
0:34:50 > 0:34:52# All alone
0:34:52 > 0:34:54# On the sidewalk
0:34:56 > 0:35:02# Hoping that you won't pass him by
0:35:03 > 0:35:05# Should you stop?
0:35:05 > 0:35:07# Better not
0:35:07 > 0:35:09# Much too busy
0:35:10 > 0:35:13# You're in a hurry
0:35:13 > 0:35:17# My, how time does fly
0:35:18 > 0:35:21# And in the distance
0:35:21 > 0:35:25# The ringing of laughter
0:35:26 > 0:35:28# And in the midst
0:35:28 > 0:35:33# Of the laughter he cries
0:35:34 > 0:35:36# Pretty paper
0:35:36 > 0:35:40# Pretty ribbons of blue

0:35:56 > 0:35:59# Pretty paper
0:35:59 > 0:36:01# Pretty ribbons
0:36:01 > 0:36:05# Of blue. #
0:36:15 > 0:36:19Hey, Don Everly, I learned a lot from my daddy when I was growing up,
0:36:19 > 0:36:22you know? Things about trains.
0:36:22 > 0:36:24I learned a lot about trains and other things from my daddy.
0:36:24 > 0:36:28Did you learn a lot from your daddy when you were coming up?
0:36:28 > 0:36:31- Quite a bit, yeah. - How about Phil, did he?
0:36:31 > 0:36:35Phil, yeah, I guess he did. Some of it rubbed off on him too.
0:36:35 > 0:36:39You guys have got a real unusual style of guitar playing and rhythm.
0:36:39 > 0:36:41Did you learn that from your daddy, Ike?
0:36:41 > 0:36:45Yeah, I guess you'd call that sort of Muhlenberg County guitar picking, I guess.
0:36:45 > 0:36:47We didn't learn as much as we should have, I don't think.
0:36:47 > 0:36:50I think you guys have got a style of your own but your dad,
0:36:50 > 0:36:54Ike Everly, is one of the most imitated guitarists I've ever known.
0:36:54 > 0:36:57Let's get him up here, what do you say? Mr Ike Everly.
0:36:57 > 0:36:59THEY APPLAUD
0:37:01 > 0:37:05- Glad to have you with us. - I'm happy to be here.
0:37:05 > 0:37:09Speaking of guitar playing, John,
0:37:09 > 0:37:11most of the old thumb pick guitar players played this tune,
0:37:11 > 0:37:15one time or another. It's called Cannonball Rag.
0:38:07 > 0:38:10You know, one of my favourite guitar players,
0:38:10 > 0:38:12I guess just about my favourite, is Mother Maybelle.
0:38:12 > 0:38:14She's a good-un, ain't she?
0:38:14 > 0:38:18She was playing a tune backstage there a while ago
0:38:18 > 0:38:21and I want her to come over here and see if she can teach me a bit of it.
0:38:21 > 0:38:23Come on, Mother Maybelle.
0:38:29 > 0:38:33- Let's play it together, Maybelle. - You reckon we can do this?
0:38:33 > 0:38:34SHE LAUGHS
0:38:34 > 0:38:38- What did you call that tune? - Well, I called it Victor Rag.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42All right, you handle that end and I'll see what I can do over here.
0:38:42 > 0:38:44Well, OK, here goes.
0:39:18 > 0:39:20THEY CLAP AND CHEER
0:39:25 > 0:39:27All right.
0:39:29 > 0:39:32You know, there's some great songs written,
0:39:32 > 0:39:34come out of this Nashville area.
0:39:34 > 0:39:37A fella named Vince Matthews come down...
0:39:37 > 0:39:40- I guess he's from up Michigan way, ain't he?- I don't...- Are you from Michigan, Vin?
0:39:40 > 0:39:45- Well, you wrote a song... - Kingston, Tennessee. Down Kingston's...
0:39:45 > 0:39:48Well that makes it an authentic folk song. Here's Vince Matthews.
0:39:53 > 0:39:55- Are you going to do Melva's Wine? - Yes, I am.
0:40:00 > 0:40:02# Every year about this time
0:40:03 > 0:40:06# My wife Melva makes some wine
0:40:08 > 0:40:13# Every year about this time
0:40:13 > 0:40:16# The air is sweet as Melva's wine
0:40:18 > 0:40:22# And I sip her wine and I listen to the robin sing
0:40:22 > 0:40:24# And the river runs
0:40:26 > 0:40:29# Through Kingston Springs
0:40:30 > 0:40:33# I got the brother up Chicago way
0:40:33 > 0:40:36# He wants me to visit him some day
0:40:36 > 0:40:38# And I may
0:40:38 > 0:40:41# Sometime
0:40:41 > 0:40:44# But not as long as the robin sings
0:40:44 > 0:40:48# And Melva sleeps in Kingston Springs
0:40:50 > 0:40:54# Cos it was last year about this time
0:40:54 > 0:40:58# That Melva made this glass of wine. #
0:41:05 > 0:41:07That's Vince Matthews.
0:41:07 > 0:41:12Daddy, we're mighty proud that you can be with us for this occasion
0:41:12 > 0:41:16and we've been proud to have you with us on a lot of our shows,
0:41:16 > 0:41:17within the last few years.
0:41:17 > 0:41:22You were with us at Folsom Prison, you were with us at the White House.
0:41:22 > 0:41:25What did you think about meeting the President?
0:41:25 > 0:41:31Well, I got a kick out of it. I thought it was something.
0:41:31 > 0:41:35Did the President say anything to you when you came through?
0:41:35 > 0:41:37Yeah, I buttered him up.
0:41:37 > 0:41:41When I got to him, I was supposed to address him as Mr President
0:41:41 > 0:41:46and his wife as Mrs Nixon, so I shook hands with Mr President
0:41:46 > 0:41:50and I told him I considered it a great honour
0:41:50 > 0:41:53to get to be in the White House and meet him and shake his hand.
0:41:53 > 0:41:55And before he could say anything, I said,
0:41:55 > 0:42:00"I just want you to know, sir, that you are making us a wonderful president."
0:42:00 > 0:42:03And he grabbed me around the shoulder and pulled me over and said,
0:42:03 > 0:42:06"Mr Cash, I want to have my picture made with you."
0:42:06 > 0:42:09And he told me he would send me a picture and he sent me
0:42:09 > 0:42:12a picture about that wide and about that long,
0:42:12 > 0:42:15coloured picture. I've got it hanging up in my home.
0:42:15 > 0:42:17Mighty nice man, wasn't he?
0:42:17 > 0:42:20Sure was kind to us at the White House.
0:42:20 > 0:42:21Momma, I wish you could have gone with us.
0:42:21 > 0:42:26Mom wasn't feeling too good that night but it was a good trip for us.
0:42:26 > 0:42:30We saved the prettiest and the best for last.
0:42:30 > 0:42:32I'd like to ask you to go to the piano
0:42:32 > 0:42:35and get everybody to join in on a song.
0:42:35 > 0:42:37Your favourite song.
0:42:44 > 0:42:46I'd like to dedicate this, if I might,
0:42:46 > 0:42:48to my sister in Fordyce, Arkansas.
0:42:48 > 0:42:51She's not in the best of health and I'm sure she will enjoy it.
0:42:51 > 0:42:52OK, Momma.
0:42:55 > 0:42:59SHE PLAYS "SILENT NIGHT"
0:42:59 > 0:43:05# Silent night
0:43:05 > 0:43:09# Holy night
0:43:09 > 0:43:13# All is calm
0:43:13 > 0:43:18# All is bright
0:43:18 > 0:43:25# Round yon virgin mother and child
0:43:26 > 0:43:33# Holy infant so tender and mild

0:43:56 > 0:44:01# Holy night
0:44:01 > 0:44:05# All is calm
0:44:05 > 0:44:09# All is bright
0:44:09 > 0:44:16# Glories stream from heaven afar
0:44:18 > 0:44:25# Heavenly hosts sing alleluia!
0:44:26 > 0:44:33# Christ, the saviour is born
0:44:35 > 0:44:42# Christ, the saviour is born. #
0:44:57 > 0:45:01With all the talk of Christmas and the singing of Christmas and the
0:45:01 > 0:45:06celebrating of Christmas, we mustn't lose track of what Christmas is.
0:45:06 > 0:45:09This is the birthday of a man called Jesus.
0:45:09 > 0:45:10But most of all,
0:45:10 > 0:45:14we must remember what this man's purpose was in this world.
0:45:14 > 0:45:17His plan for man to live by is even more than ever
0:45:17 > 0:45:20one that would work today to help us through all our troubles,
0:45:20 > 0:45:22whether personal or national.
0:45:23 > 0:45:26Read just a few of his words and you'll realise that
0:45:26 > 0:45:31what he gave to the world was a gift of love that we may all share.
0:45:32 > 0:45:37Here is the story of a little boy that went to seek him out,
0:45:37 > 0:45:40to give in return the only thing that he had.
0:45:40 > 0:45:42His gift of love.
0:45:51 > 0:45:56# Come they told me
0:45:56 > 0:46:00# Our new-born King to see
0:46:00 > 0:46:03# Our finest gifts we bring
0:46:03 > 0:46:07# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:07 > 0:46:10# To lay before the King
0:46:10 > 0:46:12# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:12 > 0:46:14# Rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:14 > 0:46:17# Rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:19 > 0:46:22# This is to honour Him
0:46:22 > 0:46:27# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:27 > 0:46:28# When we come
0:46:28 > 0:46:32# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:34 > 0:46:37# Baby Jesus
0:46:37 > 0:46:41# I am a poor boy too
0:46:41 > 0:46:44# I have no gifts to bring
0:46:44 > 0:46:46# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:48 > 0:46:50# That's fit to give the King
0:46:50 > 0:46:52# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:52 > 0:46:55# Rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:55 > 0:46:58# Rum-pum-pum-pum
0:46:59 > 0:47:02# But may I play for you
0:47:02 > 0:47:06# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:47:06 > 0:47:12- # On my drum? - Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:47:13 > 0:47:17# Mary nodded
0:47:17 > 0:47:21# The ox and lamb kept time
0:47:21 > 0:47:24# I played my drum for Him
0:47:24 > 0:47:27# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:47:27 > 0:47:30# I played my best for Him
0:47:30 > 0:47:32# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:47:32 > 0:47:34# Rum-pum-pum-pum
0:47:34 > 0:47:38# Rum-pum-pum-pum
0:47:46 > 0:47:50# Then He smiled at me
0:47:50 > 0:47:55# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum
0:47:55 > 0:47:57# Me and my drum
0:47:57 > 0:48:01# Pa-rum-pum-pum-pum. #
0:48:12 > 0:48:16I hope you did enjoy our special Christmas show.

0:48:18 > 0:48:20it's the one I enjoyed doing the most.
