Here's one that I missed somehow. I would guess from around '70 to '71.

Man, that is some great stuff right there! The b-bender and steel sounds are quite similar to the playing in Freddy Wellers "Games People Play" single and album. Clarence White and Red Rhodes are all over that album. I can't get enough of Red's playing.

Hey Dave, I have a CD with that cut on it. The CD's called "Classic Gilbeau 1968-1986" I think, I don't have it in front of me at the moment. Clarence and Red are on a few cuts and Red more than Clarence. I bought the CD from a web radio station that Gib used to have called California Country of something like that.......JH in Va.

I've always been a Gib Guilbeau fan. Did a few shows with him when he was a Burrito. This track definitely has some of the same feel as the Freddy Weller Games People Play album. I've still got that on vinyl with nothing to play it on now. Gonna have to get someone to transfer that to CD for me. I remember Clarence and Red swapping licks on the song Birmingham and really getting after it. Such a shame that Clarence left us so young.

Yes, I saw Freddy Weller on the old Nashville Network several times with a Parsons/White B- bender Tele. Never saw him play much other than rhythm.
