Hillbilly Hit Parade: local film/video curator Russell Scholl delves back into the archive to share more highlights of vintage Hillbilly music performances on film. Bring the family to enjoy songs of laughter and pain, drinkin’ and cheatin, true love, heartaches by the number, moonshine and murder — as well as songs in praise of God, mother and home. Included will be rare musical short subjects, Soundies, television and film appearances, and the even the odd music video-Country and Western, Old Time, Western Swing, Bluegrass, Honky Tonk and more.
