I have just uploaded one of the great players of our time to YouTube.
This is the year Weldon was inducted into the Steel Guitar Hall of Fame and then walked over and started playing a set. It was very emotional.
For you youngster's, Weldon played on most of Connie Smith's records (and many others) and was the staff steeler on the Grand Old Opry for some 30 years.
enjoy

Another great vid. by another great steeler So smooth and such super tone Sometimes I find it hard to believe there were so many fine steelers back a few years ago. Thanks again to you Bill and to Scotty for these. I will probably never get to the conv. again but this is a great second choice

It is so great to see Weldon again. When my wife can travel again we plan to go to Nashville and watch him play.
