Speedy is introduced by the LeGarde Twins who had a very long career both in the US and Australia. They were even in an episode of original Star Trek. Got to work with them one tourist season when they were featured at the Bandwagon Theater in the Arkansas Ozarks. Check out their interesting story elsewhere on youtube.

Speedy was able to look up from his instrument and connect with the audience. Most steel guitar players don't.

There ain't no pedals on this here steel my friend, he was arguably the biggest of the last generation of steel before pedals took over. I play and admire both, what I don't admire is the sudden disappearance of the non-pedal instruments, and even moreso as the pedal players weren't obligated to drop it, the disappearance of all the exciting steel guitar tricks we see from Speedy here in such a short few minutes! Bouncing the slide going up the neck, tone control manipulation, use of harmonics for excitement, all that stuff. My career is as an upright bassist and I'll tell ya I exploit everything I can to be more exciting than the instrument wants to be, we lost that aspect of the steel guitar when the pedals put the showmen out of work. A damn shame; I think there's more than enough room for both

Likely his influence was more indirect and subtle as an innovator and experimentalist in a still primitive era. Of course his direct connection with Leo Fender as in house test pilot made him invaluable with the development of a lot of the gear the 60s and 70s guitar gods utilized to reach the top of the mountain. Speedy and several other unsung heroes built that mountain. Swing that thang, Speedy!
