Thanks for posting, Lee. That song always takes me back to my Texas days. It seemed to be in the air no matter where you went.

The 'Songs Around the World' series is well done. I enjoyed the one with Robbie Robertson singing 'The Weight' with a cast of thousands. OK, dozens. They did not ruin that song...

I really like the guitar at 00:30.

Any idea what kind it is?

Superb! Lee, that might be a Cuban guitar variation called a cuatro?

Michael Nesmith tried a version of this but he thought it was One Ton Tomato. Wasn’t near as nice as this....

Looks like an old Harmony or something. Manuel Galban is an interesting player. He was the musical director of a Cuban doo-wop vocal group in the 50s called Los Zafiros that are worth checking out.
Thanks for posting.
Always something cool in the "music" threads.
