Must have been when she was a late teen-early 20s, and I don't recognize the guitar, but she plays the living hell out of it.
Slippery Elm

| Herb, the least she could do would be to look down at the guitar and make it look hard? |

| I saw a clip of Barbara Mandrell where she went around and played every instrument in the band, what a talent! |

I saw her play live in 1971. She played SG Rag on steel, smiling the whole time, and played every instrument on the bandstand, sax, drums, guitar, keys, etc.

I love the tune and she plays it great.
Believe it or not, it is pretty simple to play and one of the first steel tunes I transcribed on C6.
If anyone wants to learn it, I posted a video on YouTube--the first video I ever made--that demonstrates it. It was an old analog 8mm tape, and the transfer is glitchy as can be, but it still gets the point across.
