Those guys look like they need help on several different levels, Jim.

Well b0b I have to agree with ya on that one!
It was kind of like a hand grenade or a banjo, by the time I realized what I'd gotten myself in for,
IT WAS TOO LATE!

Me filling in with the Hoyle Brothers at Opry Plaza in '05. Our dressing room was right next to Emmy Lou Harris'! Got to hear Mike Auldridge from backstage at the Opry. It was a "chicken skin" moment for sure.

Ernest, I remember BLYTHAM. I heard that it stood for Bob loves youth and their money. I arrived in IL in late '73. Paul Wade, was that Radar playing guitar in the first picture?

This was my original band in 1976.I've changed all members since then but we all see each other regularily.I'm the only one still playing on a regular basis though.We never used a drummer when we first started out and neither did many of the other bands as drummers seemed to be associated with rock and roll and not country.My how times have changed.

Here's a shot or two of some band(s) I play with now. The first is "The Long & Short of It" featuring myself on lead/steel, my wife Kay on vocals, Lonnie Godfrey (formerly of Loretta Lynn's band) on drums, and Don Yount on bass/vocals. The next is a shot of a trio which I work with every Saturday at a local restaurant. It's me on lead, Barry Fedesco on rhythm & vocals, Don Yount

on bass/vocals, and a Zoom drum machine named "Little Lonnie". The last is another shot of "The Long & Short of It" at an outside gig last summer.....JH in Va.

I'm not currently playing with a group again (yet), but I'll go along, too, and throw in two or three bands that I played for.

The first is WAY back in my earlier days of playing steel ... goes back to 1977 in the most different band I've ever played with called The Barefoot Brothers ...

Left to Right, yours truly on steel, Joey Ryan on drums, Jason Foote on acoustic, Johnny Gibbons on bass, Bucky Woods on fiddle, Billy Masters on guitar and Joey Lunsford on keyboards. We were sort of into the Outlaw thing playing lots of Waylon, Willie Nelson, Marshall Tucker, Poco, Charlie Daniels, etc.

Next is a decade later, 1988, with a band called Whatta Band ...

Next is 1990 ... the first configuration of Ty Herndon's band (we were called Southern Thunder at that time) ...

Left to Right, Mike Basden (keyboards), Bob Williams (drums), Rick Pack (guitars), Ty Herndon (Vocals), Reggie Brown (bass) and yours truly (steel).

Finally, a quick one from 1998 showing the band's final configuration (as Ride The West) ...

Back Row, Left to Right, Wes Hendrix (guitars), Ty Herndon (Vocals), Darin Johnson (guitars), David Pinkston (drums) ... Front Row, Left to Right, Randy Jeter (bass), yours truly (steel), Marty Weir (sound engineer), Drew Keller (keyboards).

Having just looked at all seven pages of these excellent bands I thought I'd add a couple of photo's of the band I was with as there appears
to be only one with a ZB featured ! We were called
Frisco and came from S. Wales, UK.
Sad to say, I'm the only one left of the trio, Clive
on bass passed away in 2001 and John,vocals,guitar
in 2005 R.I.P.
Interesting to note,that telecaster ended up in Atlanta !
All the best
