Hi Joel,

Looks like an early photo of James Clell Summey, AKA Cousin Jody. Cousin Jody played with Lonzo & Oscar on The Grand Ole Opry. He always referred to his steel guitar as his "Biscuit Board." He once recorded an instrumental called "Jody's Chimes."

I remember seeing Cousin Jody on the Ed Sullivan show around 1959 or 1960.???

Cousin Jody died in the mid 1970s of a heart attack.

Yeah Roger, I think you're right. Jody was the only one I ever knew that wore his hat that way! I believe his song "Jody's Chimes" was just his own version of the old Hawaiian standard "Maui Chimes".

Well it sure could be Buddy and Jimmy in the early days after one of those 3 or 4 day Jam SESSIONS! LOL right Buddy !!!!!!!!!!!!OR it could be Lynn and myself. It sure looks like Buddy though before the DERBY DAYS.

I like the way his tie also serves as a muting device.

It looks like Jack Ansiel to me, Jody played a GIBSON.

I have no idea who that may be but I do believe the guitar is a Gibson BR-9.

It looks like a Gibson that had the frets numbered put out in the mid 50's. I think it is Jody.

I have a lap steel just like that. I found it in my father in law's garage. It has the frets numbered, and is the most ugly guitar I've seen. It is white with a brown fret board and brown tail cover. In spite of its looks, it sounds pretty good.
