The Porter Wagoner Show No. 272
Porter introduces a Pete Stamper composition from his current LP "You Got-ta Have A License." Accompanied by The Wagonmasters, Porter plays guitar and sings "The Way He Said Your Name." Really nice shot from side of stage of Porter and Wagonmasters singing with audience framed behind them.
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 272
Porter introduces gap-toothed rube comedian Speck Rhodes, who ambles in wearing his usual checkered suit and bowler hat and tells a corny joke about mini-skirts that gets a big round of applause. Then backed by The Wagonmasters, Speck sings the old-timey number "Sweet Fern."
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 272
It's time for the sacred number of the week, and Dolly Parton takes the honors. Backed by The Wagonmasters, Dolly sings "Where No One Stands Alone." Extreme CU of Dolly superimposed over wide shot.
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 272
Porter reintroduces Pete Stamper, and they joke about how none of the songs Pete has written for Porter have become hits (including an unnamed "worst song ever.") Then backed by The Wagonmasters, Stamper performs the humorous narrative "Across The Alley From The Opry." It's not a bad bit but Stamper rushes through it and pretty much blows his timing altogether.

The Porter Wagoner Show No. 274
Opening of Porter Wagoner show #274. Standard pre-recorded opening begins with CU of Porter s shiny red boots walking down hallway, which cuts to rear view of Wagoner s garish green Nudie suit festooned with rhinestone wagon wheels and cacti. Montage of smiling Porter happily walking through WSM-TV studio as stage hands and technicians prep show. Don Howser s voice over reads: "Direct from Nashville Tennessee, here s The Porter Wagoner Show!" Quick shots of regulars as Howser announces them: "Starring Porter Wagoner, Dolly Parton, Speck Rhodes, Don Howser, The Wagonmasters, and today s special guest star." Momentary pause in VO (presumably left for Howser to read the guest star s name on air), then prerecorded segment ends with Howser s "...and now, here s Porter." Cut to live portion as Porter, wearing dazzling, rhinestone-studded red Nudie suit, plays guitar and sings "The World Needs A Washin'" (from his "Carroll County Accident" LP) accompanied by Wagonmasters Buck Trent, Don Warden, Mack Magaha, George McCormick, Jack Little and Speck Rhodes, all but Speck in matching sky blue Nudie suits. MWSs Buck's banjo solo and Mack's fiddling. Shot of women in audience applauding.

The Porter Wagoner Show No. 274
Accompanying herself on acoustic guitar, Dolly Parton sings "Little Bird." A beautifully unadorned performance. At the end Dolly exhales like she didn't get enough air in her lungs to make it all the way through the song.
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 274
Porter has Dolly introduce the next song, "Fairchild," which she wrote and Porter recorded on his LP "You Got-ta Have A License." Porter plays guitar and sings the number backed by The Wagonmasters. Nice but somewhat sloppy performance of this chilling murder ballad, undercut by Porter making jokes about his guitar playing and forgetting some of the lyrics.
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 274
Porter introduces gap-toothed rube comedian Speck Rhodes, who ambles in wearing his usual checkered suit and bowler hat and tells an awfully corny joke about his new girlfriend Janie Applerot and how her kissing improved when she got her lips stuck on a vacuum cleaner. Then backed by The Wagonmasters, Speck sings the old-timey novelty number "I Like Mountain Music." Speck dances to Buck's guitar playing. Shot of audience applauding.
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 274
Porter hands the week's gospel number over to T. Texas Tyler, who recites his famous sentimental WWII narrative "Deck Of Cards." Odd superimposition at end of song where Tyler's cross-embossed sleeve is displayed over 1/2 of the screen.
The Porter Wagoner Show No. 274
Porter calls T. Tyler in again to thank him for performing. Then Porter apologizes to Dolly for not singing her song "Fairchild" very well. Then backed by The Wagonmasters, Porter and Dolly duet on "Each Season Changes You" and Porter forgets the lyrics to the first verse.
