Speedy had a style all his own. It's really great seeing this rare footage of him.

One of the best of the period.

This doesn't show Speedy's real signature style of slapping that steel.... I just love that and have heard it all my life. My folks knew Speedy personally and we all love him!

The Lawrence Walk Show wasn't so bad after all ...

Speedy was the only non-lap steel player I ever liked. Man he and Jimmy were great!

I can't believe that I get the priviledge of making the first comment.

O.K.,so it's his "Hawaii phase".

Man! If Speedy had only stayed w/ Jimmy.

Where would Hillbilly country have gone!
