Good to hear his legacy is being kept alive. Tommy Spurlock plays a Fender 400 tuned to Pete's B6. When I met him in Austin he said he was abandoning the D-10 ShoBud and going with the Fender. Somewhere on youtube he can be heard backing up Emmylou and Rodney at SXSW..

Here's "Crazy Arms" - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x2Hwv8jbPZU

I recently saw Sneaky in a few clips with Rondstats band in the "History of the Eagles" program on HBO.

More Kleinow artistry

IMHO, some of Pete Kleinow's best (if understated) work can be heard adorning compositions by the late great Gene Clark:

"Through The Morning, Through The Night", from the Dillard & Clark album of the same name:

From Gene Clark's 1971 solo album, Roadmaster, "Here Tonight":

Keep on picking'!
