A friend of mine sent me this photo of a German steel guitarist named Red Saxon. Does anyone know Red, or have any information about him, and is he on the Forum........JH in Va.
Anyone in Europe know this Steel Player?

Hey Olaf, I went to that website and pulled up some of the band pictures. On one there's a friend of mine named Jack Scudder. Jack lives in Newport News, Va. now and sings some with our band when we do the Moose Lodge over there. Also, my bass player (Don Yount) spent almost twenty years in Germany and played a lot with Jack. Did you ever know Don? Here's a shot of our group as he looks today......JH in Va.

Jerry,
sorry, but i dont know Don Yount. Where he has lived in Germany? Maybe I've seen him, but i can't remember me. Otherwise it is with Jack. I've met him several times here in germany, but the last time is 21 years ago. How time flies!!!
Jack (and his wife Mo also) played in the band by Red Saxon, called Drifters Caravan. That was the band played with Dave Dudley here in Germany, like Andy has already says. At this time, I was often at the Dave Dudley concerts. A song by Dave, that I heard on the radio, brought me to country-music and later on pedal-steel. but this is another story...
I have found a few pictures from that time. If I had scanned the images, I send them.
(But Scanner out of work at this time )
Regards
Olaf
