Just watched the 1965 movie Second Fiddle To A Steel Guitar (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000M9BS50?ie=UTF8&tag=mandcafe-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000M9BS50) referenced in the Paul Glasse Interview (http://www.mandolincafe.com/news/publish/mandolins_001158.shtml). Pretty cool video, very 60s.
All the big country names of the time were in there along with some really, really bad comedy. Monroe did Mule Skinner Blues and Blue Moon of Kentucky. Don't believe any of the music was actually done live because it was just too perfect and sounded right out of the studio, plus, the fingers and words coming out of the mouth weren't matching the tunes even close. Took a phone camera shot and wondered if someone can name all the guys in the band. The banjo player was left-handed and the guitar player was playing with a thumb pick. Very cool! The broken headstock and scratched out Gibson logo clearly visible.
