This video represents the masterful touch and tasteful playing that is so much a part of Buddy Emmons......just listen to his execution and you'll see why, like Elvis and Buddy Rich, there will never be another like him. Thanks, Bill, for sharing this with his fans.
Buddy Emmons is the KING, and he is the reason I love the steelguitar so much, and I love my 86 Emmons LeGrand and it still sounds and plays wonderful.
When I first started learning to play the steel and built my own, coming to a Earnest Tubb & Ray Price dances I was allowed to sit or stand next to Buddy as he played, He always made it seem so effort less, smooth, sweet, pleasant also great to talk to if not playing or involved other wise, really a great guy.
We're so lucky to have these recording done by people at steel guitar shows, and wherever of this great player. Thank God, somebody had the mind set to record it on vido and audio too. I saw Buddy in Dallas and remembered thinking, gee wouldn't it be great to have one of those vido camneras. Glad someone did. Marc Trainor.
my dad was always a big fan of buddy emmons and talked about all the great musicians of his time. this is the first time that I have had the pleasure to listen to him myself. I wish my dad was still alive to enjoy all this wonderful music that you can get on you tube. thanks to all who put this great music on here!
I played steel for 10 years until I hurt my back and can no longer play. This song was my inspiration to play. Buddy makes it look so easy, but most can tell you it's not.
I am spending way to much time on you tube.... but to get to hear some these great cuts by the Big E... is worth every hour I sit here...thanks Bill for the time and hard work you have put in to all this...and to Buddy... for his great playing....as always... keep'em comming....
This was back when the big "E" played Emmons. Anyone out there know when he changed brands?

Such a great song. I found this just now, after having found another video, just earlier, of John Hughey and Bill Ferguson playing it.
