Killer!
Who is the tele man?

Killer!
Who is the tele man?

I believe that would be my old friend Charlie Carter. He played with George for several years, then went on to play acoustic rhythm with Tammy Wynette. Charlie used to come out to a club in Dallas and hear us play in the mid 80s. He is a prince of a guy. When we did a show with Tammy Wynette he took me around and introduced me to everyone, including Tammy. I understand he is still in Dallas but somewhat of a recluse. That man has a lot of history!!

The Possum and a Tele...Heavenly!!

Thanks for the link!

is that a baritone neck? it looks longer

Here is a quote from one of Charlie's friends after I sent him that link to the video.

Yes, that is indeed Charlie Carter on his old white Telecaster. Notice it has a rosewood neck. Sometime after this was shot, an Airline company ran over that guitar, case and all, and ended up buying him a brand new 1968 white Tele, but it had a maple neck.

Note: That's James Holly on Bass, and singing harmony with George. Freddy Haws on Drums, and I think that's Sonny Curtis on Steel. I didn't see a fiddle player with them, but I believe Charlie Justice played with them.

Great clip!

I have to admit that my favorite recorded version of this great song is the Dave Edmunds/Stray Cats single. Well worth a listen if you've not heard it.
