18. Thanks, now I can't get that image out of my brain

19. It's Marty Stuart

The Keeper of the Flame of REAL country music.

Damn shame that phony-ass Garth was made a member of the CMHOF before Marty.

Go see Marty next time he and the Fabulous Superlatives are in your area. You will not be disappointed.

25. I love both Garth and Marty. Both have done so much for

country music.

20. That's Marty Stuart, great musician and caretaker

of at least two of Clarence White's famous guitars - the Parsons/White modified Fender "b-bender" electric and that beat up, 1935 Martin D28 which was subsequently owned and played by Tony Rice.

Stuart has paid his dues, got the chops and deserves a lot of credit for his work whether one likes his music or not.

Edit: that looks like the b-bender he's holding in the Post #19 photo.

23. It is, it is

[Alpeduez21]

21. A little taste for anyone who may be interested

[Paladin]

22. Pull up "This One's Gonna Hurt You" and listen to it.

It doesn't happen nearly often enough, but every once in a while a great country-western song comes along. Marty wrote this one, and sings it in a duet with Travis Tritt.

[highplainsdem]

24. The great Marty Stuart. Here's a hit he wrote with Ronny Scaife and

recorded with Travis Tritt:

[Brother Buzz]

26. FWIW that's Clarence White's uber famous Fender with...

The Parsons/White B-Bender. It was still a work in progress when Clarence died.

There's a boatload of shit going on inside that ax

27. It sounds fantastic, but it's the only guitar I've ever seen that looks like

it was designed as a Rube Goldberg machine.

[Brother Buzz]

28. It was a prototype, a work in progress.

Gene Parsons cleaned it up a ton and perfected it to a great degree, and still markets them today.
