I can't thank you enough amigos. You guys are wonderful for the plug. It is always my pleasure to play both of your music on my show. I actually believe that the Texas Panhandle Band version of "Won't You Ride in my Little Red Wagon" with you Hank on vocal and Jody's awesome steel licks is one of the most wonderful items ever recorded.

I don't believe I've heard this one. Is there a recording available somewhere?

Jody Carver · Post by **Jody Carver** » 19 Mar 2008 7:21 pm

Hi Andy...yes Mike Gross has a copy..I over dubbed the steel on this,Hank plays great steel as well and sings great as you will hear and plays great fiddle...whoop de doo..Thank you Rick for adding me on my space..

The Knight has spooked again

I wish to thank those of you who have shown a lively interest in The Hot Club Of America. I have today shipped bOb lee enough to last for awhile..After this there will be no more available..For those of you who are not aware, I used the proceeds for a tombstone for Johnny in City Island New York, the cemetery was vandalized some months ago. I will now have another made of Johnny and to which I know if he were here today would have proud to know that those of you who have enjoyed his music would have made him as happy and proud as I..I want to especially thank my good friend DAVE VAN ALLEN for all he has done for myself and Johnny and Augie and George..I will always be grateful to all of you for making a dream come true..for the 4 Red Coats..and a special thanks to my friend MIKE GROSS who has with DAVE VAN ALLEN done me proud.

My best to everyone and God be with all of you.

Jody You Did The Right thing replacing Johnny's Tumbstone.He would do the same for you.No doubt about it.

Jody Carver · Post by **Jody Carver** » 23 Jun 2008 3:41 pm

Hank thank you..yes I remember the spaghetti eating contests that you and Johnny had. For some reason, he always won and he loved those HOT peppers that Italian people eat..I'm sure Johnny would do the same for me. However, I'm not ready to leave this world, at least not right now...

Jody-- Hey how come you're spelling my name as Cava hahahahaha..It's close enough for Jazz 8)well my mom's maiden name was Marie Cava..Amazing Carver Cava are one in the same..My dad's name was Frank Zeb Carver..my name YDOJ REVRAC..

Hank Pell · Post by **Hank Pell** » 23 Jun 2008 4:00 pm

Jody I.m sorry about spelling your name wrong. My eyes are not that clear yet, since i had those cateracts taken out.Is that a good excuse or what? Ha Ha. Blue Spanish Eyes.Nice Song That Song.

Jody Carver · Post by **Jody Carver** » 23 Jun 2008 4:28 pm

Hank. don't be sorry..I have cataracts as well. I know people younger than you and I who have that problem. I can only say this..as I said for our friend Mike Gross..There is only one Hank Pell..God be with you always good friend. Actually my dads name was Ebenezer Carver..Ebenezer is name from the Bible
There was an old song..Ebenezer saw the wheel way up in the sky..Nice song that song and the Great Don Certz Jr and senior are great guitar players as well.
