Just thought some of you Speedy West fans might be interested in this.
I just got the Vestapol DVD-13012 of 'Merle Travis Rare Performances 1946-1981' which has some great footage on several of the early tracks of very young Speedy West playing what looks like his Bigsby steel.

Hi Darryl,
No, this one has a picture of Travis, and his Martin with the Bigsby neck, singing into a CBS mic. The picture was probably taken during one of the radio or television broadcasts. If you like Travis this is a great DVD with quite a few good shots of Speedy as a nice bonus.
If you Google the title you can get a good rundown on it. There are quite a few places that have it in stock.
