Speedy Haworth Plays Jimmy McHugh

"When You and I Were Young Maggie Blues" was written in 1922 by Jimmy McHugh and Jack Frost.

We just unearthed some very rare footage of legendary guitarist Speedy Haworth performing Maggie Blues on Ozark Jubilee, the first network television program to feature Country Music’s top stars.

Speedy Haworth is recognized as one of the finest country guitarists of the 40's and 50's.

The clip is from 1955 and introduced by Red Foley, who was, at that time, was the biggest name in country music.
(Trivia fans: Several years later, Red became Pat Boone’s father-in-law when the singer married daughter, Shirley!)
