A propos de cet article

Revised First Draft script for the 1979 television special, which originally aired in 1979 on CBS. Working copy belonging to crew member Selig "Pinky" Frank, with his manuscript pencil annotations throughout. Bound in before the script are several production documents, many with Frank's manuscript ink and pencil annotations, including several shooting schedules, cast and crew lists and contact information, and a brief performance rundown. An hourlong country music special hosted by Kris Kristofferson, held in memory of folk music legend Maybelle Carter, who sang with her sister-in-law Sara Carter and Sara's husband A.P. Carter as The Carter Family. All three were born and raised in southwest Virginia, and were the first vocal group to become country music stars. Maybelle Carter's distinctive method of playing guitar, known as the "Carter Scratch," became a hallmark of the group's style, and was widely copied in later roots, gospel, bluegrass, and country music. Housed in a brown titled three-ring binder noted as MASTER, with the name of Selig Frank on the bottom right corner. Yellow titled wrappers. Title page present, noted as REVISED FIRST DRAFT, dated 6/27/79. 91 leaves, with last page of text numbered 77. Xerographic duplication, rectos only, with rainbow revision pages throughout, dated variously between 6/28/79 and 7/11/79. Pages Near Fine, wrapper Near Fine.
