Ed,
I have never heard of you referred to as "Mr. Sho-Bud". Why would you out right lie to someone like that?

The Lp had to be recorded in late 64 or early 65. The Mel Tillis cut is also a single he had out on the "RIC" label in 1965 (the first of 3 that year before moving to "KAPP" records).

"TOGETHER AGAIN" was the B-side of "MY HEART SKIPS A BEAT" but, both sides went #1. First "MY HEART..." #1 with "TOGETHER...." at #2. Then the two songs switched positions and the next week they switched again. The single "Capitol 5136" was released ...

If ET is straight up 440 but Buddy tweaks (not 440) then he is not tuning to ET straight up 440. I'm I right or does 2+2=3.9999999999

Wonder if the "Curtain in the Window" comes with the house or do you have to buy new ones. Also, you can plant a "Different Kind of Flower" if you don't like the ones that are there already.

Jason,
The info I have list Longhorn - 544 (1964) WILLS, BOB "BUFFALO TWIST/SOONER OR LATER (YOU'LL FALL)". So the Bobby Garrett (#542) would be 63 or 64. I don't have a reference year close enough for any before that to be helpful.

A kick drum playing 4 on the floor on a shuffle kills the swing feel. The bass drum should be played on 1 & 3 or not at all. Herb, what does Mr. Bush say about the drum pattern of a shuffle?

The Grand Ole Opry is not the place to have a Waylon tribute. Waylon wasn't associated with the Opry.

I like Waylon and his music but, that was a bunch of out of tune BS.

Funny, you didn't hear certain ones wanting to hear the Whites before they became famous (?) with the soundtrack CD.

I don't think the producers know Lloyd from Buddy. There maybe a few, very few who can capture the essence of Lloyd but, none who sounds like Lloyd. These two statements are opinions.
