Good ol' Buck. That's Ralph Mooney on the steel guitar. I like old time country but mainly I love the pedal steel. So high and sweet and mournful.
I like that video with the song.
All this talk about steel guitars put me in the mood for some Hank. The way Don Helms plays that steel guitar (NOT a pedal steel. That was before their advent) puts a tear in my beer every time.

Love me some Hank but yeah he has that effect.:o
Some upbeat steel in this one from Smokey Joe Baugh, one of Sun Studios lesser knowns.

Thank you for introducing me to Roy Clark. I had never heard of him but boy can he play!That was a great rendition of Malaguena.
Mark, if you like Roy Clark, give Glen Campbell a listen. He did a fair amount of his own music and was one of the very respected session guitarists. He did almost all of The Beach Boys and played on a plethora of other albums.

Mark, if you want to see something good my wife just showed me a video of Roy and Glen doing Ghost Riders in the Sky...It's worth look.

Yup, Glen Campbell never could read music. A natural.
Both were/are truly Enigmas.....Mold was broken.

Glen Campbell was indeed a very under-celebrated guitarists. I have to say though that not reading music is more common than you might think especially among guitarists. You would probably be surprised at how many can't. Among them that I for sure know of are Phil Keaggy, Paul McCartney, Jimi Hendrix and Django Reinhardt. In fact, there is a famous story told that Andre Segovia heard Django play and was particularly moved by one song. Afterwards he went to Reinhardt and "demanded" that he tell him where he could get the sheet music for it to which he replied, "I can't, I just made it up."
How many guitarists do you see with sheet music in front of them?
Outside of classical and a few school jazz band guitarists I can't think of any. Chord charts and tablature on the other hand are a different story. I started to learn how to read clefted sheet music but honestly found it stifling. I had already learned to play by ear so that may have discouraged me also.
Its hard to imagine someone not knowing or hearing Roy Clark. Not that i dont believe you. It just seems strange to me. Even this old metal head grew up with him on the TV
And I'm a grinnin' :p
We have a winner! :tu
I loved so many skits on that show, Roy Clark popping up from behind the hotel desk, where oh where are you tonight, gloom despair and agony on me were all great ones but one of my favorite bits was when Nurse Goodbody comes in and says to the doctor (Archie Campbell), "Doctor, doctor it hurts when I do this!" and gives him the shimmy. He looks at the camera and responds, "Do that again!"
Plus, let's not forget how much killer music there was.on there. I just watched an episode from 1973 with Loretta Lynn, Conway Twitty and Johnny Bench...yep. Johnny Bench singing, not to mention Buck Owens, Roy Clark, Hager Twins, Stringbean and the other regulars.
Shane McGowan RIP

So drunk to hell I left the place
Sometimes crawling sometimes walking
A hungry sound came across the breeze
So I gave the walls a talking
And I heard the sounds of long ago
From the old canal
And the birds were whistling in the trees
Where the wind was gently laughing

I see that he had many drug issues but overall he looks like a methhead to me.
Alcohol and heroin, was the main culprit. I think he spent most of his life battling drugs and alcohol. Luckily we don't really get meth over here.
I read up and it seems he got some choppers later in life. Kind of pitiful story.
Didn't figure he would last to 65.
I saw a photo of Shane in hospital a couple of weeks ago and was shocked a) that he looked to terrible, b) that as Tom said, he had teeth!, and c) that he was in fact still alive. He was an absolute musical genius and (especially on the early Pogues albums) a truly gifted writer. Many obits focus on him as the guy who wrote "Fairytale of New York" but he was so much more than that. Here's one of his lesser-appreciated gems.
"For it's stupid to laugh and it's useless to bawl
'Bout a rusty tin can and an old hurley ball"
RIP you crazy bastard of a musical genius.

Thank you for introducing me to something I would not normally listen to.
Well....You have to get on a Monte Python jag. :D
