Jimmy Crawford with Hank Snow

Post by John McGlothlin »

I ran across this one today so I thought I would post it. Jimmy Crawford is playing a black Emmons and I'm guessing that it is a push pull guitar. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pX6aLcTMvd0

Here's a quiz:

There's three legendary steel players on stage. Name them.

I didn't notice until you mentioned it about the other two steel players...is that Jerry Byrd in the background on the Sho-Bud?

Kayton Roberts on guitar.

They took advantage on the new color TV technology with those suits!

Jimmie played both necks on that song. Cool video!

1967 + Jimmie Crawford = Pushpull :)

I believe there are actually 4 Steel Players on stage? 8)

Robert,
I stand to be corrected, but I believe I see Walter Haynes playing guitar in the background also?

Very possible it could be Walter Haynes as the 4th steel player. These National Life Grand Ole Opry TV shows have also featured both Jerry Byrd and Hal Rugg on the staff band so there's a good chance Walter Haynes was the staff pedal steel guitarist on this broadcast. The ever present Spider Wilson would know for certain. He might have a few stories to go along with the answer. Great music!
