I agree, a fantastic guitarist and these videos show just how wonderful those old stratocasters sounded, Too bad the current owners of Fender can't or won't re-create those old pickups. A great sound!
I PLAYED WE BUDDY WHEN HE WAS AT WEST POINT NY......SAL'S MUSIC STORE IN NEWBURGH....WE WENT TO THE GUILD GUITAR FACTORY IN N.J... WE BOTH GOT CUSTOM MADE GUITAR.......ABOUT 1957 WHEN HE GOT DRAFTER.....GOOD TIMES.....GOD BLESS BUDDY....WILLIE SHANE
How come every time I think I've heard everyone worth hearing I stumble on someone like this? And, on Lawrence fucking Welk for pete's sake!!!! Thanks! I am now a Buddy Merrill fan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You dont have to set the record straitght about buddy merrill.You had to be nothing short of phenominal to play in Lawrence Welk's orchestra. Granted, he was a musical genious, but a total sonofaBITCH to work for. I'd compare him to the likes of Hank Garland any day
Deke... I got this on a record from my Grandma when I was about 12 years old. It knocked me out that there could be such a cool geetar tune amongst the bubbles. I had to learn it note for note, of course -- that recording is a little different from this one. the best part of this video is old Larry doin' the Shimmy shake!!!

@richard42960 And,like Hank Garland, is largely fogotten. It is sad to see musicians like this overlooked. Thank goodness for youtube.
