| That's definitely not Johnny Sibert. A shame they don't show his face. Could it be Bob Foster? Hmm... |

George, I only heard the emcee's voice and thought it was a young Carl Smith and assumed it was probably Johnny. When I later looked at the video I think Chris is probably right. Chris can you tell me more about Bob Foster's playing.

Johnny Sibert (not Siebert) never played a blond Custom (he went from a brown triple neck 26" Stringmaster straight to a blond aluminum frame Fender 1000) and the playing style doesn't suit him and it doesn't really look like him.
Bob Foster was an early Nashville session player who played on a couple very early Carl Smith records (including Let Old Mother Nature Have Her Way) and did in fact work with Carl Smith in the late fifties when Johnny Sibert was playing for Kitty Wells and Johnnie & Jack. Bob is also the only Nashville guy of that era I can think of who played a blonde Fender Custom (I think).
My guess is that it's Bob Foster.

Thanks Chris. I do have the recording with Bob playing with Carl, Johnny always played his dark fender when I saw them in the early 1950's. Thanks for pointing out the differences.
Dennis it was Johnny Cash that was the emcee.

Thanks everybody. Now I must ask, who is Bob Foster. Don't remember hearing about him. Was he in the limelight with other stars?

| And again let me just say it might not be Bob, I'm just taking a guess since unfortunately we can't see his face! |

That's okay Chris. I was just wondering. Don't know if I ever heard of him before.
