Wilmer,

I sent the clip to my friend Joe Messina and just heard back from him.

Joe is the guitar player you hear on that clip. He was in the studio band for Soupy. He later became the "white part of the Oreo cookie" in the "Funk Brothers", the crack Motown backing band.

Joe said he remembers that session well. Brownie was a GREAT talent and he enjoyed that session a lot.

Here is a link to Joe:

This site is a great read too.
