“I was just thinking of a tape I have of my Father’s favorite song. It was sung by the choir at his funeral.
On this tape, Johnny Cash, The Dirt Band, Earl Scruggs and maybe some others are about to play “Life’s Railway to Heaven”.
One of the Dirt Band members asks Johnny Cash how something technical should be done. Johnny then is heard saying “show him how it is done Earl”. Next Earl starts on the banjo and everyone else just jumps in.
A really good song.”

Right here:

Also, “Will The Circle Be Unbroken” (album finale)

(both are from “Will The Circle Be Unbroken, Vol. II”, 1989)

Yes that first one is the one I was talking about. I have seen it before but don’t recall when or where. I do have that on tape tho.

When Johnny Cash tells Earl to show him how to do it, he is not saying it in a condescending way, he literally means for him to show how to do it.
