This week for #tbt -- a rare shot of Nez at the pedal steel guitar, circa 1968 (photographer unknown). “I played steel guitar and rhythm guitar for the Byrds at a concert in Berkeley, California. People asked me if my amps were turned on, you know? Did I really play or was it all for show? The Byrds certainly didn’t need me to stand around on stage and do nothing. Clarence White asked me not to get in the way of his solos, but the rest of time I was as audible as anyone on stage.” -Nez, from "Folk Scene" magazine, October, 1975 . . . #clarencewhite #thebyrds #pedalsteel #nez #michaelnesmith #mikenesmith #throwbackthursday #1968 #retro #guitar #music #folkscene

The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Rock [NEW 1978 Edition] - Phil Ochs. Born Dec. 19, 1940 in El Paso, #philochs was sent to military academy, following the family tradition, before leaving to study journalism at Ohio State University. He moved to Greenwich Village in early 60s and, like #bobdylan , was one of the leading lights on the burgeoning folk-scene. 1) Phil Ochs hugs Bob Dylan after the New York benefit concert in 1974 for the victims of the Chilean military junta. #folkscene #folkrock #theearlysixties #greenwichvillage #folkmusic https://www.instagram.com/p/CMBiRVVrY9M/?igshid=konljh0x7qsx
