Great video of Buddy Merrill on The Welk Show

This is absolutely great. From another era. Notice Lawrence Welk telling him at the beginning to stop looking at his hands and smile at the camera. Yeah... right. -L-

Here's another outstanding Buddy Merrill clip from back in the day. Amazing tone from that old Fender! How come modern steel guitars don't sound this good?!

I always looked forward to the LW show back in the 60s with a chance to watch Buddy on steel or guitar and Neil Levang as well. That is great playing by Buddy, as always! Doug, maybe it has to do with weight of the steel Smile

Seriously tho, I have read some posts on here where they were talking about the old MSAs and others and that the bulk of the instrument contributed to the sound thru shear wood mass. Other factors involved too of course, pickups,...talent ?
