I'm about to show You a beautiful scene from a documentary feature film I made in Nashville in 1969.

The Center of Country Music and Really Bob Dylan and Kris Kristofferson and Lended Cone and others.

The big money's there, everybody you can think of who's a star because it's the 45th anniversary of the grand old upright, the center and I get this opportunity.

Go down and make a documentary feature film on this moment, the 45th anniversary.

Because back in 1965 when I was a really young filmmaker, I made a documentary for television on the roots of mountain music.

I love about music as a boy on Long Island, so I get the chance to do this 45th anniversary of the Grand Ole Opry documentary feature film called Nashville Sound.

I got the chance because my partner at the time was unbelievably good at picking stars and getting money.

Otherwise I never would have gotten the chance to be on that stage, recording these incredible people with Johnny Cash with Loretta Lynn with Earl Scruggs with Porter Wagoner and thousands and thousands of young artists are coming to Nashville in order to get seen, heard, maybe get a record deal.

And if they get a record deal, maybe get on the radio, that's the big deal.

So I said in my production manager, we gotta find one of these thousands who were coming to Nashville to record somebody who's looking for a contract coming to town, hoping to be a star.

He pulls up in this broken down Volkswagen and he is incredible.

You're about to see that scene before you do.

In this scene, he meets a great record producer, Shelby Singleton, who was real famous because he had done with Jeannie C.

And then at the end, I'll tell you what happened to her.

It's 11 30 sided and nine, I came up hoping to get some exposure, trying to work in some way just to be saying trying to get a break came appear, uh, brought all the equipment in the station wagon.

Ignition went out, Had to push the car all and had a flat tar.

Well, I'm 26 I've waited around for 34 years and I keep waiting around.

I said, Well, if I don't try, what have I got to lose that?

Not felt like this convention was the only time that I could come up and get his much exposure without having to go to every door, knock on every door in more or less a bag for somebody to help me out.

This guitar, this is called a record box.

And believe it or not, he's the leader of the band.

You have to kind of pull it hard to get it up.

Well, that's supposed to be, uh, if I don't run into somebody that could help me out, I guess I was gonna have to sleep in the car written any Yes.

I have 15 songs that I was hoping to get some people to listen to have one around.

Um, this is one I wrote not too long ago.

This is sort of a takeoff of the song using a few of my own words.

I hear cheers of laughter from every girl and boy, All I am is wasted.

I live a life of thing, never any sunshine.

I just get kicked around and I don't intend to give up.

I intend to make it maybe 10 years from now, maybe out there a long time, but maybe I won't make it.

I thought maybe you could tell these things, and I just sensed anything.

I was hoping to get somebody to listen to him.

You have a guitar with your something You have got a base Is Marvin and Bruce with electronic drums and a bass.
