The legendary (at least in the South) Porter Wagoner tv show with rising star Dolly Parton! Wow! I'm impressed how Porter frequently had older "non-radio friendly" acts on his show like Merv Travis, Jimmie Davis, Stringbean, and other pioneering icons rather than just currently hot or rising country stars like most of these 60s-70s country series.
