You read the title.

The only performance footage I can find on youtube is "Take me back to my old carolina home". Considering how visually interesting his performances have been said to be, I'd assume there'd be more videos. If you have anything please send it in.

God bless

That scene was from the movie "Grand Ol Opry" and is lip synced, he is not actually playing anything.  The full movie is available in the Bear Familu box set.



You will find no more.   I'm fairly certian that is all the full there is.

I'm aware it's lip synced, still a fun one to watch. Shame there's no more footage.

That footage from that movie is all there is of Uncle Dave. More's the pity too.
