Jimmy Day in Ray Price ERA circa 1960
I know 1960 was 50 years ago, but my dad, Boogie, joined the Cherokee Cowboys and Ray Price in that time; he only played lead guitar with them around 3 months.. the road life was just not for him... I do know that Jimmy Day was the steelman at the time and Donnie (Paycheck) was in the band at the time... if ANYONE has or knows someone with any photos from that era, it would be absolutely fabulous. Dad has no photos from that most awesome time and we really would appreciate it if anyone has one.. Thank you in advance!!

Henry:
With a little Google-fu, I'd guess Meridian, Mississippi. Probably during their annual Jimmie Rodgers wing-ding.
There was a Lamar Building in Meridian in 1950, and that pic shows both "Lamar Building" and "Meridian Insurance Agency".

Donna, what was Boogie's full name?
Shorty Lavender, Donny Young (aka Paycheck), Steve Bess, Jimmy Day, were from the 1960 band, so your dad would be right with the year he worked with the band.
Roger Miller had joined in '59, but was gone, Bess got replaced by Johnny Bush, and Young/Paycheck was replaced by Willie Nelson in '61.

I am guessing Pete Wade, Jan Curtis, Ray Price, Johnny Paycheck, Buddy Emmons, and Buddy Spicher.Mitch Drumm wrote:Donna:
Here is another I found; I know most of these guys, but not all.
2013 Williams D-10, 2019 Williams D-10, 1970 Fender Twin, Evans SE200, Fender Tonemaster Twin, Hilton pedal, Jagwire Strings.
Regarding Mitch's pic, I'm assuming that's 1962 when Donnie Young-Paycheck rejoined on bass, and Buddy Spicher was probably the newest member as I've seen pics of the same group, except Shorty Lavender was on fiddle rather than Spicher.
That band was assembled after Willie Nelson split to form his own band with Jimmy Day, Johnny Bush, and Wade Ray...

I think it was....although I don't remember if it was in the book about him.
As an aside.......not long ago I lived within walking distance of the old New River Ranch site. You can still find evidence of the park there.....including the cabin that Leon took that picture of Ernest Tubb in front of.....if you've seen a copy of the book Pure Country.
