This video is from the 1950s. A very young Justin
Tubb does the announcing. Spider Wilson is playing guitar to the right of Don Helms.

I sent the video to a friend and he thought the bass player resembled Leonard T. Zinn.????

Thanks Brad, Nice version by Don. Vance Terry once told me that he was in the studio watching when Billy Bowman originally recorded that tune.

Roger..
I don't think that was LT...but rather "Lightnin" Chance the staff Opry bassist from the 60s.
