Junior Brown "Surf Medley"

[JohnnyRingo]

This features his hybrid "Guit-Steel" crafted by master luthier Michael Stevens. This one is his first named "Old Yeller". A newer one designated "Big Red" was stolen at a Holiday Inn Express in 2019.

“As a kid who dropped out of high school and didn’t’ have any skills at all, I got this job playing six nights in honky tonks when I was seventeen years old. I made $140 a week and thought I was rich.”
Indeed he is artistically quite wealthy. That's his wife Tanya Rae on acoustic:

I believe the switch he keeps hitting on the tailstock is for tremolo

1. First saw him as an opening act ffor John Prine.

John was a big fan.

2. Those Guitars Are HEAVY!

They've got to be approaching 20#.
I find it interesting that he plays the regular guitar neck on a pretty shallow angle. I wonder if he had wrist issues. Lots of bow in his left wrist.

3. They must be heavy.

If you look closely he has a stand for it. That must be the right angle for him, but I can see how it could be painful.
