I'll never forget what he brought to country music especially as a Wagonmaster. He was unique, gifted, and a true showman. Really, there is no one like him. Porter knew it and that was part of his genius too. RIP Buck !!

Thank you.

Please click the link below for a karaoke version of Ray Price's recording of "The Same Old Me". What would are the fret, string(s), and pedals, knee levers combinations used in the closing around the 2:36 mark for the Jimmy Day e-9 set up? Thanks so much for any help. https://www.youtube....

Thanks guys.

Any Help is greatly appreciated.

What a great, commanding voice and sadly one of the last of the stars of the 1960’s.

Worked the LA scene in the 1950’s & 60’s I think.

Lou Houston!!

bOb was a difference maker for all the right reasons. He has abiding admiration and respect. God Bless his soul.

This is fun stuff. It's Pete Drake and bet the ranch. In addition to the songs posted for this topic like "That Kind of Girl" and "Keeping Up With The Joneses" that have Pete all over them, please listen to the intros and fills on the two songs I attached below...... Billy Walker...

The great Pedal Steeler for Buck Owens in 1963 and part of 1964. Is he still with us? The last I heard he was living near Mariposa. CA.

I see Keyboardist George French on the far right. Might be Pee Wee Adams on drums.

He wears a white hat and a dark Nudie type jacket. He's really good and engaged. Thanks.

I wonder who has the final say for the different types of intros, fills,breaks and closings. Is there a lot of improvising in the takes?

Gary Hoetker

Jody was eager not just willing to share his knowledge with everyone interested. He was one of the good guys.

I’ve been listening to her songs on YouTube released in the 1960’s like Two Lonely People. Fabulous voice and steel.

Gary Hoetker

Probably Pete Drake. Not because he is my favorite but because I think he was the most versatile and melodic.

Gary Hoetker

Congratulations sir !! Johnny Bush's take on what is required to play this beast of a musical instrument is the truth. It probably made perfect sense to Buddy Emmons.

This is a historic piece of literature likely not to be found anywhere else. The Fender 1000 is the gold standard for the West Coast Sound, in my opinion. How I and many other would you have loved to sit down with Jay McDonald, Brumley and Mooney over a beer or two and discuss the recordings they pl...

Was it Jimmy Day in their early United Artists releases , then Sonny Curtis when he joined The Jones Boys in’64 and when George and Melba moved to the Musicor label around ‘66? Thanks for any input?

Gary Hoetker

Was there some jealousy involved because Tompall seemed to be the lead vocalist and the spokesman most of the time, maybe inadvertently outshining the other two ?

Gary Hoetker

For my money, they eye the best three part harmony in any form of music. Why they are not inducted in the Country Music Hall of Fame is a travesty. Did they piss off some people?

Gary Hoetker

Have the private services for Bobby been held? Sure miss him!!
