One day in 1989 while cleaning out the garage at his Tyne Boulevard home in Nashville, Willis Graham uncovered the holy grail of country music: 24 episodes of the "Flatt & Scruggs Grand Ole Opry" television show. The significance of the cache wasn't lost on Graham, a retired advertising executive who had worked with the show's sponsor. Until that bout of spring cleaning, the received wisdom was that the Flatt & Scruggs shows had all been erased or taped over, that no copies of its 1955-69 run survived. This week, nearly 20 years after Willis donated the films to the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum, fans will finally have the opportunity to see some of them on DVD with the release of "The Best of Flatt & Scruggs TV Show," volumes one and two.
