Some "new" Speedy West vid's

Post by J D Sauser »

Again some where he's playing backup with Wesley Tuttle:

When Payday Rolls Around (introducing the latest Pack'a'Seat XXL ;)): www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0-kSldG4rI
And a too slow and less interesting (no solo) Red River Valley: www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZNFsgXUZmk

Also a quite interesting one "Speedy Haworth" playing Speeding West on a gee-tar: www.youtube.com/watch?v=bp25PgFgUMM

I wished some would post more of Speedy. Also some of the his later music at conventions and so forth.

Speedy West,

He was my friend and before moving to California lived and owned a farm at Strafford, MO just ten miles west of where I live now.

Scotty sells a Video tape of Speedy West that covers a 5 year period of Speedy playing the big Steel Guitar Show at St. Louis. Bobby Caldwell is on the video as is the late and great Wade Ray. I highly recommend that you get a copy of that from Scotty. It is well worth the cost of the video and will keep you laughing and entertained for hours. For those who will never see him live this is the best there is on Speedy West.

Speedy West burns up his BMI Zane Beck Steels on this video. You can see what a real master showman he was. Not to take away anything from the comedy and showmanship of those today, but before alot of these guys today, Speedy was doing alot of clowning and cool stuff. He could keep you thouroughly entertained and laughing.

I miss him dearly.

GOD bless!

Yes, there are a good bunch of those Tennessee Ernie Ford songs with Speedy West on it.
Thanks anyway... J-D.
