Rick Nelson was a real talent. It was so bad he died so young. ;)

Thanks, B! Incidentally, if you listen to where Jed's introducing himself to the violinist he gives his real name....

Besides being an authentic almost-famous fiddler, he was one of the main players in TBH's music track. Wonder how many times he had to drag 'Humoresque' in the taping of this episode ;)

Pissah episode.

Granny. Lol @ Granny's reaction to "Hibiscus." Did she think it was part of a body part that rhymes with "Mulva"?? /Seinfeld reference

Fwiw, that's Sharon Tate at the 22:17 mark.

Donna Douglas was so gorgeous. In real life she was just as sweet a person.

Below is a slightly recognizable Irene Ryan in 1944, in a movie, 'Hot Rhythm'. Hard to believe just 18 years later she become "Granny."

Was he? Interesting show trivia.

I liked the way The BHB would incorporate real life country/rural celebs into the show.

Yes, its' fun to dig up our faves' previous work. The range of stuff Ms Ryan did in her silly Granny character is incredible. In view of how she gets tossed around sometimes I'm sure they made sure to cast an especially hardy oldster ;)

Hahahaaa, mebbe that's what kept her so limber ;)

Can't tell if her folk medicine was 'real' on the show, or if e.g. her rheumatiz potion was just booze. They do give the Clampetts 'real' mountain smarts -- last 90 seconds here etc ;)
