Country Carnival on RFD-TV, lead man?
I keep watching this old show and the left handed lead player on there is really good as are all the other players. Who is he and is he still playing? Some fine steel pickers on it to.

Well,it could've been Dale Sellers or Arliss Scott. Unfortunately,Arliss has,since,passed away. Was he w/ the "staff" band,or was he working for an artist? Can you tell us who was the "star" of the show?

Billy,
I've made an attempt to call George Owens,who played rhythm gtr. w/ Del Reeves on those tv shows. As soon as I hear from him,I'll post the info,however,I'd almost bet that it was Dale Sellers. Dale did a LOT of session work here,in NashVILE,'specially for Pete Drake. Dale WAS working w/ Wayne Newton,in Las Vegas. Last heard from,Dale was in North Lake,Wi.
I have an album,("The Pete Drake Show-recorded live from Frontier City in Onsted,Mich.") that features Dale on a vocal.

Let me add that I had a couple of affirmations on this. I got a call from Geo. Owens,& he,also,re-assured me that it was Arliss Scott,& Jim Vest told me that Arliss passed away from cancer,not even two yrs ago.
Arliss was one of the original members of Jim's "Nashville Cats" band. If I recall correctly,Arliss,not only,played left-handed,but also "upside-down"! In other words,a right-handed guitarist could play his guitar,also,w/o any changes. AMAZING!!!
So,it was,indeed,Arliss,& NOT Dale Sellers.
Sorry for the confusion. I'll try to get my information next time,BEFORE I post.
