David, that would be me with The Ozark Jubilee Band in July of 1958. I suspect the reason you wanted to know was because of the steel I was playing. It was a 3 neck 8 string Wright Custom and of course made by your dad. I can not remember how I came by it but I traded it to a steel player in Texas a long, long time ago.

David:

I saw that clip a week or so ago and was wondering the same thing.

Gene Jones was on steel in that band circa 1963 or 64, but that clip is a few years earlier.

I have a 1964 pic of Gene with Merl Lindsay and his face looks fuller than this steeler's, but Gene would no doubt know who it is. I've seen a listing of earlier personnel for Lindsay's band, but I can't lay my hands on anything.

Whoops, didn't see Jerry's answer before I posted this.

Jerry,

Great pickin' Jerry.

BTW does anyone remember Don Pearce(The bass player/singer in this video)?
He's was one of my pals in The DFW area in the mid 60s. GREAT entertainer and writer.

That's too cool. Those are pretty young boys to be that good already.

Lee.. My dad,brother and I put a lot of miles on a 54 fender bass very much like the one in the video. My mom still has it. The one in the clip is a year or two older.
