  • For all those who I guess haven't listened to the original recording and believe the Massey Hall concert is the beginning and end of "Old Man," the pedal steel player on the original recording and seen and heard here was the late Ben Keith. The original banjo was a six-string played by James Taylor almost as a lark. Neil liked it and kept it. The banjo picker here is Neil's guitar tech Larry Cragg. He probably as forgotten more about stringed instruments than any of us are likely to learn.

  • @desertswo THANK YOU! A day isn't wasted if you learn something and we ALL learned a whole bunch there!

  • you think with all his money he'd have a guitar that wasn't beat to shit. kinda cool he plays that.

  • @noserider207 That guitar belonged to a country music legend that was on that stage 50 years ago. Neil explains why it's important in " This Old Guitar". Either from my list or do a Tube-search. Quite a story for that song too.

  • @joeyzola I believe it in fact belonged to Hank Williams, Sr. Not sure how it got into Neil's inventory, but I'm pretty sure Hank, Jr. is OK with it.

  • @desertswo If you catch This Old Guitar (at the Ryman) He tells how about 30 years ago his friend, Grant Boatwright found the guitar and Neil bought it from the (then)owner, Tuck Taylor. Yeah... it's Hank's Old Guitar, and this was its first return to the Ryman since 1951.
