TUXES, BATSHIRTS, THUMBS CARLILLE, A PRETTY BLEARY-EYED ROGER MILLER, ETC.

(NOTE--since posting this, the link with the entire TV appearance has flown. Here's a healthy chunk of it, and there is more on youtube.) 
This clip has Thumbs Carlille, some country-jazz playing, another excellent unsung picker named Jimmy Colvard (he played on Dave Dudley's "Six Days On the Road") and much, much more. There's really too much great music and weirdness to explain. Enjoy, and thank Charlie McCardell for passing this along. (Bill Kirchen passed it to him, evidently.)

I am quite sure I have never seen anything on TV in my life that was as real and strange as this long clip. (I didn't even mention a hung-over Roger Miller.)
