Porter introduces "one the great entertainers in country music," Kenny Price, who wears a canary yellow suit and plays guitar and sings "Who Do I Know In Dallas" from his "Heavyweight" LP.

The Porter Wagoner Show No. 263
Leading The Wagonmasters, Buck plays us out of the commercial break with lead banjo on his instrumental version of Kenny Price's 1966 hit "Walking On New Grass," and is surprisingly joined by Price himself on vocals. Price does some impromptu twist dancing, then makes joke about not doing so bad for a cripple (referring to his sprained ankle). Porter makes sure to get a shot of Kenny's mismatched shoes, one of which sports a moccasin to accommodate the damaged appendage.

End title super reads: "Produced by Show Biz Inc. in cooperation with WSM-TV."
