Kooky Kayton and His Old Red Fender

*CORRECTION: the steel guitarist pictured in the black and white band photo at 03:51 is NOT Joe Talbot, but rather Buford Gentry. However, I believe the second (news clipping) Joe Talbot photo is correct. **Possible CORRECTION?: In my diagram of Kayton's tuning at 09:54 there is a D shown on the 2nd string but Kayton's headstone displays it as a C. -------------------------------------------------- Kayton Roberts was an American steel guitarist who performed with Hank Snow for over 30 years and was known for his unique tunings, flamboyant personality and provocative playing style.
