Jim,I don't remember that song...that's funny though...must have been written by a friend of the family!I'll be in Atlanta if I ain't working...had a great time last time I came down...Skip,as for the guitar player's Gretsch...most pics I see of Nashville bands of that era,the gitter players are playing the Chet models(or Gibsons)...a lot of Nashville records of that era featured the"335/echoplex"style of playing made famous by Grady Martin...the Fenders must have been a West Coast thing(Buck,Merle,etc.)

Skip,it just now dawned on me...were you there with Dwight?I got out of there so quick...we had come in from TX that morning and I had been home just long enough to clean up and turn around and go back downtown to the stadium!We were having MAJOR monitor problems(in-ears)...but we got through it...thank you for your kind words...I wish I had realized you were there-I would have tried to find you to say hi...haven't seen you since'81-a little dirt track in Arkansas with George Jones,John Conlee(my chief at the time)and the Burrito Bros.(Gib and John with you on steel)...now that I've hijacked this thread I better go...great to hear from you!
Black & Gold Sho-Bud
If I remember correctly, The Black Sho-Bud that Bill West is shown playing above, featured gold plating on much of the metal, & later burned up in Dottie's house fire in or around the late 70s? I'm sure some of you Nashville guys can verify this? au
