these videos coming to light on Buddy Merrill are just fascinating and amazing. Years back I bought a record of his; it was corny, commercial and not really listenable. If I am wrong I apologize, but I don't think he made any albums or recordings that showcase his awesome guitar playing skills. I wonder why...

he is so good it makes me want to smash all my guitars and burn them

Hi, TV Collector. I've read that my favorite singer, Jim Reeves, was on the Welk show a couple of times, but I've never been able to find anything on those espisodes. Can you help?

@billga2007 - Or Arthur Smith's "Guitar Boogie," c. 1945.

@CrummyCurtis You have a point. The show became a little
top heavy with singers by the 70's. Less instrumental
showcases. Welk should have run some of these shows
again by that time for himself, to see that they were drifting
away from a winning formula.

This reminds me of The Ventures....sort of.

current Chicago guitarist, Joel Paterson, another devotee of Merle Travis, performs this song in tribute to Buddy

@BruceWLA if it's a 54 or 55 Howabout 35,000 at least
So many styles from Buddy. Here he sounds just like Hank Garland and Melre Travis.
