I'm not aware of one. How about a new one?

One thing I've found about Buddy compared to many other famous steelers is that I pay more attention to his musical choices. I don't know if it's because his playing is so much more deliberate or if his reputation just puts a microscope on everything.

Here's one of my favorite recordings where Buddy just flat "knocked it out of the park":

Thats like asking what my favorite flavour of ice cream is but if I had to choose, I would say I tend to like the more personal videos of Buddy.

Such a great video of Buddy, that would never happen today. I got to meet him once in Atlantic City after an Everly's show and his smile was a infectious as it was in that clip.

Miss him and his posts on the forum back in the early days, where he always responded to any questions that were posed to him.
Regards, Craig

I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.
