Buddy Emmons & Marcel Dadi Project

[Steve Alonzo Walker]

Does anyone know what songs are on the Marcel Dadi project that Buddy was on?

[Bob Knetzger]

If you mean "Dadi In Nashville: it was a double album (and with lots of "double players: Bill Keith and Bobby Thompson on double (harmony ) banjos, BE and, I think, Curly Chalker both on steel. Tunes are:
Big Chief
Billy the Keith
My Firend in Massapequa
Roger Chesterfield
To Mom and Dad
Chattanooga Train
Cocktail Party
Things We Used To Do
Pinewood Road
Buddy's Dance
Milk Shaker
Two Days with Charie
Old TIme Pickin Parlor
Lullaby for Stephanie
Nashville Tops
The Ballad of Greg ladey
Loverly Gene
Waltz for Paula


Lots of Travis finger style guitar kicks offs to play the heads, then off they go! Even the 2/4 tunes have a nice swing feel.

Steve and Bob, that was a great get together and Buddy and Curly did some awesome steel work and I treasure the records. What a Shame the Marcel was lost on flight 800, he was the Chet Atkins of Europe and quite a picker, thanks, Gary

I too have a copy of this project and it is one of my favorites. I loaned it to a freind and he called me to tell me it kept him awake for days! Classic Curly Chalker and awsome work by Buddy. Dadi was ahead of his time and a great loss to the music community.

I jammed with Marcel once, and I didn't know who he was until after we were finished. It was at a NAMM show back around '93 I think. I was demonstrating the George L pickup in my steel (This was before George L and Sierra started sharing a booth) and this fellow came up to me and asked if he could play along. We jammed for a while and then he got up and introduced himself, Of course I recognised the name immediately.

He seemed like a nice guy, as well as a great player.
