Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

We'd come in at 2 o'clock and go to bed and get up at 4 to try to get awake enough to do a live radio program.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

But that was your bread and butter in those days.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

By that, I meanβ€”

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

We made our real, really our living by the road work that we did.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

We'd go out and do shows and charge admission and get a percentage of that and also some flat rate too.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

But that just put us to working in better, bigger auditoriums and bigger crowds.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

Yeah.

Now you bake bright with Martha White.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

Goodness gracious, good and light, Martha White.

Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

For the finest biscuits, cakes, and pies.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

And the group says, the one all-purpose flour.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

Get Martha White for self-rising flour.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

It's got hot rice.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

Hot rice was actually a baking soda that went into the bread that makes bread rise.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

You know that, yourself being a lady.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

But I thought it was pretty cleverly written.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

Oh, no.

Fresh Air
Grand Ole Opry At 100: Earl Scruggs & Loretta Lynn

Oh, no, they would probably have done that, but I got a lifetime of work with Martha White.

It was a great company, and they helped us just more than I could total up, I guess.
