Really enjoyed the steel guitar on this video. The tone was perfect and the guitar had a dynamic sound
that is seldom heard.
Thanks for sharing with the rest of us. |

The fellow in the white shirt sitting at the rear of the group is none other than HOWARD WHITE who passed a few years back.
Howard's wife just released a second issue of the book "EVERY HIGHWAY OUT OF NASHVILLE", a story about much of Howard's musical experiences while on the road with big name vocalists. This one is a book that every musician should truly enjoy.
Howard White acquired the #002 Trot-Mor steel guitar the same day Jerry Byrd received the #001 unit.
Howard has four great instrumentals on Hickory label, that I'm sure you could find on You Tube. |

T thought miming was a recent phenomena....seems it's always been around, judging by this video.

The steel playing's a lot better than the song deserves!
I wouldn't mind that Super 400, though.

It looked to me (I'm not the one that said he is miming) if he was he was doing a good job of miming a Day setup the way he was pumping the 2nd and 3rd pedals?  |

Jimmy is about to hit Stu in the head with his guitar.
This video is the perfect example of disrespect for the steel player.
I bet I am the only one that doesn't like to dodge swinging guitar necks while I am playing. Neither do I feel comfortable with somebody's backside so close. I usually just say no to the next gig. |

| At least he's in front of the bass player, so the bass player would have to make a concerted effort to ding him......... I've spent a good deal of time ducking guitar necks and thats just the way it is on small stages. I'm usually behind the front line so an inadvertent move will cause me to duck. It is unnerving to say the least. |

This clip is from a movie called "Second Fiddle to a Steel Guitar" (Marathon, 1965). Most of the music in the film is lipsynched, but to tracks that were probably recorded on the same stage around the same time. It has been quite an adventure trying to identify the musicians in the various backing bands, none of which were credited. The film was reissued by Time-Life a couple years ago, I found it on eBay for $7.00 and bought several copies to gift to friends; the whole film is worth checking out.
