Does anybody recognize the steel picker in these videos?

Ben Keith did some steel work with Faron Young. I liked the stuff he did live with Faron, especially in the clubs unrehearsed. It looks a bit like Ben and I can hear Faron say "go Ben" before one of the steel breaks. How did Faron ever manage to make great records and sing on key without AutoTune (LOL)?

Thanks. Loved the rides he played, and what a cool old Sho-Bud.

Odell Martin on guitar, BTW.

Son, we live in a world with walls, and those walls have to be guarded by men with steel guitars. Who's gonna do it? You? You, Lt. Weinberg?

Roger is so cool. One shirt sleeve unbuttoned and one in the process of being buttoned. He can be doing nothing but stand there and he still draws attention in a crowd.

Hey Herb,

Thanks, I was just about to ask if that was Odell. Next time I see you, remind me to tell you a great Odell story.
