Curly Chalker - Live in LA (1986) (1 Hour and 23 Minutes Long Set)

Post by William Hoyle »

One of the best YouTube channels out there deep diving into all of the fantastic players that we know and love, iHonkyTonk, just released some serious gold for us on Christmas Eve.

One Hour and 22 minutes of Pedal Steel perfection.
Transferred from Betamax to Digital.

Great stuff from Chalker. Big loss. Hard to recognize the support group there. Guitar player sort of looks like Bobby C.

The band members are listed at the very beginning of the video, Johnny Davis on guitar. Forumiite Jim Bob Sedgwick on bass. John Mauceri on drums. Thanks to Forumite Mike Perlowin (RIP) for his work on saving these videos. Not positive, but I think there were more.

There are only two options as I see it.
Either I'm right, or there is a sinister conspiracy to conceal the fact that I'm right.
