Is that Darrell McCall on Bass?

Wow, Faron Young is just plain fantastic.

I sure wish Cal Sharp would come back and lay some more "monster from the back of the bus" stories on us.

I believe it is Darrell McCall on bass.

Man, they sure were a sharp looking band.

And the young Ben - movie star good looks.

The last time I saw Ben play live was a number of years ago in San Francisco @ Hardly Strictly Bluegrass.

He was playing steel for Neil's ex-wife Pegi Young. I've always thought Pegi was a good backup singer, but at the time I didn't think she was really "ready for primetime" as a front woman.

I was at that stage on that particular day strictly to watch Big Ben Keith.

Old thread, I know, but this clip went missing for a good while off the YouTubes and is now back. Great solo by Ben Keith for Faron Young.
