Enjoy!

Kind Regards, Walter

I love Connie Smile but the steel player doesn't look big enough to be Weldon.. Maybe Weldon just looks big in my eyes Smile Great pics Walter

Hook, I think it is the white shirt and pencil tie that makes Weldon not look so big. Rolling Eyes

Saw a video on youtube the other night of Connie and a young Weldon. Some mighty fine picking.

This picture was taken before i was born. But I'm thinking the bass player looks a lot like Roy Husky.

I like the Gretsches. If I were a lead guitarist in a country band, I'd play a Gretsch.

Could it be due to the fact that Weldon or whoever it is is sitting on a regular chair? That looks mighty uncomfortable!

Those are cool pics, Walter, thanks for sharing them.

Felton Pruett is playing through a Gibson BR-1.. I've got one. A great amp! Two 6L6s.

Some questions came up:

The bass player in the dressing room picture is Ike Inman.

The guitar player on the band pic with Ben Keith in fact Odell Martin.

Not sure about the date for the Ben Keith band pic, prob. around 1960. Ben Keith also can be heard on most of Faron's recordings from that time.

Kind Regards, Walter
