Hi Folks,
A friend gave a copy of this pic the other day. Of course I recognise Hank, Minnie and I believe that is "Tater" but what about the others? IS that Roy Acuff? George Morgan? Can you folks please help with any of the others? I am just a young buck (49) Thanks!

Larry,

Roy Acuff is third from left, followed by Red Foley. Sixth from left is Grant Turner, Little Jimmy Dickens and Hank in the middle, Rod Brasfield and Minnie Pearl on the right...

Kind Regards, Walter

Red Foley, yes indeed...should have known that one. Thanks Walter!
OK the rest of you, Anyone out there identify any of the others?

I think that's bashful brother Oswald next to Roy in the back. Most of the girls are cloggers - (or Hank's dates.) The guy in the plaid shirt stage left is another clogger, or Howdy Doody. The guy on Minnie's left might be Lonzo or Oscar.[This message was edited by Barry Blackwood on 25 June 2006 at 04:18 PM.]

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

The guy in the plaid shirt front left is Billy Robinson.

Isn't that Stonewall in the back between Red and Hank?
