Hey Paul, When I was 17, mine was a LOT worse than that! Great pickin' at such an early age.

Paul you sure had a bunch of hair for sure.
And you was picken the fire out of that ole MSA.

Wow! Paul that's really cool pickin' considering your first time on television, you didn't appear to be nervous. I guess the hair thing was of that era, we were all young and foolish in those days, and to be frank with you, I miss those days. Always a pleasure to hear you play, and you were really sweet and hot last night on PBS for the President. p.s. I'm the creator of the Facebook TIme Jumpers site. Andy Jeff and Ranger Doug are members, it would be cool if you joined. RC

Great playing, hair-regardless! And Ms. Mandrell's hair is also pretty awesome.

Well, Paul, we all had to start somewhere. At least your hair was its natural color. When I started, everyone was trying to look like one of the British bands that were coming to the US. Our manager told a couple of us to bleach our hair blonde, so we would look more like Peter Noone & Herman's Hermits.

At least you sounded great. Our band was not so good.

Paul,

At least we had hair back then. I've lost most of mine. I noticed the guitar player had his hand in a cast???

Great playing as usual!

Good disguise. I would not have recognized you, except for the great picking.

Micky Byrne · Post by **Micky Byrne** » 25 Nov 2011 3:14 am

Geeze Paul...great pickin' as usual and a white guitar

I remember years ago reading one of Tom Bradshaw's "Steel Guitarist" magazines (I still have it).. where there was an interview with Buddy Emmons, and he mentioned a "15 year old monster player" he'd seen the previous night in Detroit...you of course

BTW I remember years ago purchasing a cassette player of you teaching "Styles" of players. You actually hummed the tune of "Oh Lonesome me" .. I was waiting for you to sing it

Re hair...up to 30 years ago, I had a full Afro haircut..now look at me

..Actually I shave it daily, as that look is quite popular in UK.. that's my excuse

Paul, your right about the hair do! I think that I liked you better with the "Curly Afro" in the early 80's.
But how about the horn rim glass's at the white house in DC?? Almost didn't recognize you.
Only good friends can make jokes with each other and still laugh about it. See you in Dallas!

Tommy White · Post by **Tommy White** » 25 Nov 2011 4:26 am

I remember seeing that the first time aired. Just killed me. I also remember thinking, I have a lot to learn and I should be practicing. I still think that ,when I hear Paul play.
Wow, time flew by!
Love and peace to all this holiday season.

That's pretty cool. Also enjoyed the other Barbara video of the Joe Tex cover.

Those were they days of big hair. I used to have hair like that...I used to have hair...

Thanks for showing, I liked the afro-look from later too

Great to look back at videos, awesome job as always !

Paul King · Post by **Paul King** » 25 Nov 2011 11:38 am

Well, I have never had that much hair and never played as good as you do Paul. No laughing here from my point of view.

Russ Tkac · Post by **Russ Tkac** » 25 Nov 2011 11:57 am

There was a white D-10 MSA at Berringer's music in 1974 that I wanted pretty bad but I couldn't swing the $1500.

Nice hair.
