You won't believe your eyes as the immortal Thumbs Carllile and Curly Chalker tear this old chestnut down. No extra charge for the rambling, nonsensical Red Foley outro!

i believe the pedal steel player was speedy west...not curley chalker??

[pappyredux]

naw - that's definitely Curley. He and Thumbs were a legendary team on OJ. Check out 'Flyin High' to see the difference.

And like Speedy, that's a straight steel - not pedal.

Is that Curly Chalker on steel guitar.?

[pappyredux]

Yes. that would be the 'Curly' of the title. Also check under 'more info'

thanks!

Nope,that is MOST DEFIANTLY Curly Chalker on steel guitar. I should know considering he was my father.

Those old Fender Stringmaster steels sound unbelievable, way more soul than anything made today.

From somewhere around 1955-56? Carlille was one of the first Stratocaster players, although he was often seen with Telecasters and Jaguars. He was a Fender man. These Musicians look so happy don't they? So unlike today.

Ladies and gentlemen, J. Edgar Hoover on the drums!

Thanks for sharing this video. I started a page that presents the text of selected 19th century dance and play songs. I reposted your video under "Little Liza Jane" so that I and other folks could get a sense of how that tune sounds. Google Cocojams American Banjo and Fiddle Songs.
