Anyone in the Shreveport/Bossier City area able to service my Carter D-10. Don't know the age but its about 20 years old. Serial # 90186062-24. Needs general lube, adjustment and correction of a bothersome click when the A pedal is pushed.

Guitar is an 8/7 Sunburst probably dating from the late 1940s. To the best of my knowledge it is in original shape except that the tuning keys were replaced with Waverly retros to help keep it in tune. The 15 original tuning keys come with the guitar. I have owned the guitar for about 20 years. This...

Mr. Griffith:

I do not know how to determine the speaker type. If it helps the serial # is 9A-04189358. If you can tell me how to find the speaker model # I will be glad to look for it.

Fred, You are correct. Hoot Rains played on Love Song of the Waterfall and Indian Love Call as well as most of the early Slim Whitman Imperial records. Various others played after Hoot Rains and Curley Herndon left Slim Whitman and went on their own as "Hoot and Curley." Slim's pre Imperia...

Merle is at Horseshoe Casino in Bossier City tonight and tomorrow night. My kids gave me 2 2nd row tickets for fathers day. Did I raise them right or what?

How about Joni James with Don Helms?

Looks like Audrey standing next to Hank with her hands on Tater's shoulders.

Hal,
I get to Baton Rouge fairly often. Can you name the restaurant?

Floyd Cramer is in the white shirt behind the Stringmaster and Jimmy Day is sitting next to the girl to Chet's left

Can someone give me some locations for live country music with good steel in Dallas this weekend. Thanks.

I bought a NV 112 from Carter last spring at the Dallas show. After waiting about a month for delivery I set it up and noticed a hum that intensified with increased reverb. Called John Fabian who put me in touch with Peavy. Peavy sent me a UPS shipping way bill, UPS picked it up and delivered it bac...

For what its worth, I was one of those who got taken by Randy Reimer to the tune of about $100 a couple of years ago. Never got the parts I ordered although I did get several lame promises. I've gotten over it and only respond now in hope that others will be adequately warned about this guy.

Hoot Rains played a Gibson Console Grande. His guitar is now in the Blue Grass Museum in Marthaville, Louisiana. Who knows how he played the licks he played on the Slim Whitman records. No one, after he left Slim Whitman, could come close to duplicating his sound. As a matter of fact, how do any of ...

Felton was on a Louisiana Hayride "reunion" show at the Shreveport Municipal Auditorium held this last summer. It was a treat to hear and see him perform again. The show also brought back (among others) Billy Walker and Jim Ed Brown and sisters Maxine and Bonnie. Another treat was Billy Wa...

Hank Snow's "Movin On" was # 1 for 21 weeks in 1950, "I Don't Hurn Anymore" was # 1 for 20 weeks in 1954. A lot of songs on the list never even made # 1. No Ray Price, and the wrong Webb Pierce song. Where was "Slowly" which was # 1 for 17 weeks and on the charts for 9 ...

Ron,
My wife and I drove over for the show from Bossier City, LA. Great show. Every one of the guys who performed were my favorite steel player.

Slim Whitman recorded Indian Love Call in the studios of KWKH which, at that time, were on the second floor of the old Commercial Bank Building in Shreveport, LA. Hoot Rains played a Gibson Console Grande and Curley Herndon played lead guitar. Unfortunately Hoot Rains passed away about 5 years ago.

I recently heard a recording of Dueling Banjos that featured a pedal steel "competing" with the banjo. The pedal steel clearly won the duel (what else). Does anyone know who was playing the steel and the name of the CD?
