Did you notice how Ben holds his bar hand and his picking hand ? Just like another famous player I know. Jody.

I saw Ben Keith w/Neil Young in December at an arena show. Amazing man! What a career!

What year was this made and what kind of guitar is Ben playing? Looks like an Emmons but I would think the video is older than the introduction of the Emmons guitar.

I've said it before but get the Darrell McCall box set of his early recordings. It's loaded with 1960's Ben Keith's playing.

Faron came to Porterville, CA in Nov '59 with June Carter and Skeeter Davis. Big Ben was on steel and Jahnny Paycheck, (Donny Young) on bass.
