I missed the jukebox call the other day, so here's mine a couple days late. The Fat Boy Rag is an old Bob Wills tune performed here by Asleep At the Wheel. The mandolinist doubling on fiddle is Johnny Gimble, once the single most requested session man in Nashville and a veteran of the Wills band in the late 40s. The older gentleman, seated and playing guitar, is Eldon Shamblin who played for Wills in the 30s and 40s and was viewed as one of the best on that instrument at the time. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jq4pO5Z7CAA
Crosby Still and Nash? Have you turned filthy, unwashed hippie on us?
