Thank you my friend CW5 Jack Cardwell for sharing the a brief music video of Johnny Bonds introducing Marty Robbins performing at Town Hall Party .

Here is a longer video of that performance and an interview of Marty Robbins by Johnny Bonds.
"Town Hall Party' was among the first of the country music shows to be seen on U.S. television, making its debut in early 1952 and running until early 1961. Staged every Saturday in a theatre in Compton, a suburb of Los Angeles, the stage was made up to look like an old barn, thus continuing the traditions of the various live shows that were first heard on the radio airwaves three decades earlier. 'Town Hall Party' was created with its own cast of regular performers and musicians, boasting a house that was virtually a 'who's who' of the West Coast scene comprising such as Joe Maphis, Merle Travis, Skeets McDonald, Johnny Bond and Tommy Duncan."
