A true master at work! That's what it's all about! I still watch the ET reruns from the 60's just to watch him.

Thanks from me too Gary.....Buddy Charleton is the main reason that I bought so many Ernest Tubb records over the years....of course Leon Rhodes and the rest of the Texas Troubadors helped too.

Great playing. The people around the camera should have been listening instead of yaking!

Bobbe said it so well... he has The Touch. That video is a master class in left hand technique. Too often neglected.
Thanks, Gary Lee. You are a lucky man to live close enough to hear Buddy often.

This clip is rather short but long enough to set precedence, clearly defining who's boss!

I just picked up a DVD called "the best of Earnest Tubb" at the ET record shop in Nashville. Plenty of Buddy playing on the TV show from 1965.
Thanks for the clips of him playing now. Great stuff.
