Recorded by Ken Landreth Carlton Haney's Camp Springs Festival in Reidsville, NC August 29, 1969 (Playback starts after partial download.) In 1969, Carlton Haney had planned a series of band 'Stories' patterned after his successful series of 'The Story of Bluegrass' which focused on Bill Monroe's band. In this case, The Osborne Brothers Story was to feature a much anticipated reunion set with Jimmy Martin. That ended when Jimmy Martin and Carlton Haney had a legendary disagreement over where Martin could park his bus, which resulted in Jimmy Martin turning his bus around and leaving the festival never to reappear that weekend. The story was further complicated by a loud drunk in front of the stage and an abbreviated set with Red Allen, both of which are captured in this recording. Larry Richardson, Bobby Osborne's early musical partner, was at the festival, but did not appear in the Osborne Brothers Story.
