It's probably Curley Chalker on those, as well as on Sixty Minute Man. I haven't looked at the liner notes of that album in years, but that's what I remember. But yes, Dusty is on those other tracks t ...

It's Jack Evins.

Slowly was the first hit song utilizing the E9 1 to 4 chord pedal change, but it wasn't the first time Isaacs used it on the record. Apparently this Red Foley song was recorded slightly earlier:

Don Davis and Hank Garland teamed up and built Daland pedal steels in the mid 50s. Only a handful were made, here's Don playing which I believe is the # 1.

Whoa, a single neck original Bigsby with a Hise lever/changer! Shocked

Damir, I've played mine on stage many many times. Mostly here in Finland and Sweden and one tour in Germany years ago. I took it to US couple of times also but I don't like to take it on the gig anymo ...

There's two, mine and Phil's. Then there's a one PA Reissue in London and at least some point there was a T8 non pedal guitar in Portugal that was made out of real Bigsby parts but not made by PA.

Steve:

Keep looking around on Youtube.

As of a few years ago, they had at least 2 other vids with Buddy and Jimmy:

Here's a couple of tunes he played on while in Detroit. Note that he is playing a non pedal guitar with a special tuning to get the pedal sounds on the Jimmy Work tune:

Yes, Jimmy Day.

I saw Johnny Farina in Spain at Screamin' Festival two years ago. Just two days before there'd been a rumor that Santo has passed away. We all wondered how he'd feel playing all those songs if his bro ...

It's hard to see from that pic I posted but yes, he's using three finger picks.

Here's Tom in 2005 at Greenbay Rockin' 50s Festival playing with The Texas Playboys. Tommy Allsup was on guitar and Leon Rausch on vocals. That's the custom built guitar he's playing that was mentione ...

The caster legs are actually back legs, that's how PA instructed to set up his guitars. You can see the ferrules on the crutch rubber legs, they are there to prevent the pedal rack from sliding up the ...

The front neck changer is not a Bigsby made. Due to its' bulky design, the volume ( or tone ) pot is also removed about an inch. You can see the hole in the end plate where it was originally. Also, th ...

Early Buds didn't have any serial #s. The decal says "Madison, Tennessee" right? If so, pre- 64, but since it appears to have PU's made by the Statosphere company, I'd say late 50's, probabl ...
