This clip is from another Jimmy Wakely western in 1948 where Arthur has a great scene where he is to take a fiddle break. Unfortunately, we hear probably Tex Achison dubbed in on the soundtrack. At least Arthur has some great motions....its a shame we do cannot hear his break.
This stuff rocks!

Do you play too? Back in the days when I had my record collection had a
wonderful set of Americana played by Arthur and his gang. Was 3 or 4
records. Great music from America's history.

@rockgor This is Fiddlin' Arthur Smith, my Granddaddy. Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith composed Dueling Banjos (or as he called it, Feuding Banjos) in 1955.

Wonder if that's the same Arthur Smith
who wrote Dueling Banjos.
Hollywood, in typical fashion, recast one of
the banjos. Used a guitar.
A great piece either way.
