From former Vintage Guitar columnist Jim Hillmar's FB feed:
Here's a cool photo from the classic era of really great country backing bands. This is Carl Smith's band - The Tunesmiths. Check out the cool guitars including a Fender steel played by Johnny Sibert, an Epiphone archtop played by Jimmy Smith and a Gibson archtop played by Sammy Pruett. In the middle with the fiddle - that's the Dale Potter. On drums - Buddy Harman. And on bass - Junior Huskey. What a fantastic group of players!
