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
