Willie Nelson(bass) is out of uniform too...maybe he and Jimmy brought the club uniforms instead of the"feathers"...accidents can happen.

That was awesome! I didn't catch Willie till I read the post above. I wonder if that was live? I can hear a tick tack bass but maybe it was in the staff band. You can learn a lot about shuffle beat song construction just by watching the drummer play. Where is the 13 piece drum set with the double bass drums, percussionist, keyboards and 4 guitar players?

| Greg, Pete Wade was doing the tic tac on his guitar. This was pretty standard in those days even though the studio cut was done with a 6 string bass. |

What kind of guitar is Ray playing? It looks like a Gibson headstock. The body is huge, but when they show it from the side, it is very thin.

Lee... That guitar was one designed by George Gobel. It is a thinline L-5 Gibson. Most folks don't know, but George was a super good guitar player. He loved the looks of the L-5, but did not like the thickness of the body. So, he designed one for himself. They are still available on special order ( at least they were about 5 years ago). All it takes is money  |

| I think the actual Gobel model Gibson had f-holes, Ray's guitar has an oval hole. But other than that, yes, it's similar to the Gobel model. I think it was Pete Wade who said that Ray's guitar looked great and was good for show but sounded like c..p. |

Great video. 
Yeah - the L-5CT "George Gobel Model" had f-holes. He used to play that one of his all the time, and he was a really good archtop rhythm player, sorta similar to Homer Haynes. George Gruhn has one of these in his photo gallery: http://www.gruhn.com/gallery/AR3046.jpg
They're very rare, and have the very distinctive cherry red finish. I had a chance to play one years ago, and it sounded great - it had crisp, clear archtop projection. It was way out of my price range at the time. But I shoulda bought it - I could take a year off work on the proceeds if I sold it now. |

Wow, that's the Real McCoy! I agree with Greg about the drummer and the tick tack bass. What a sound! Just a clean, basic shuffle. Why can't bands get that sound today?
It's funny that those pompadour Hairdos of the 50s/early 60s were so rejected and mocked by the late-60s/70s generation... and nowadays they look so cool again! The drummer really has the hair thing going.
I think it's odd that Willie Nelson seldom used a pedal steel in his band or on his recordings, especially after seeing him working with Jimmy Day in this clip. I do remember seeing a picture of Willie playing in the '70s when he was a big star, and Jimmy Day was playing steel with him.

I just sent that clip to our drummer for him to watch and learn. Its the hardest thing to teach a shuffle to people that never heard one before. I always told the band leader: "Take away the floor tom, the tom, the symbols, and the bass drum and let him work it out on the high hat and the snare!" Just like this guy is doing. Rock solid!
