Any Lady Session Players?
Just curious to know if anyone has ever ran across or know of any Ladies out there that are Major Session Players? There are some great pickers amongst some of the Ladies out there I think. And I don't mean just Steel Guitar, any instrument, if you know of one, just curious.

Los Angeles area bass player Bob Lee has put on his web site the results of his comprehensive investigation into some of Carol Kay's more bizarre contentions.

Yuall remember Wendy Hawkem? I think that's how her last name was spelled. When she was 12-13, she would rock on a Banjo. Last time I saw her on some show..(about 10 years ago) she ripped on a "Gretsch Country Gentleman".
I belive she was on "Hee-Haw" several times in the past. And, Don't forget Delores Hancock in Burlington, NC. She plays a mean P/P. She recorded on the "Emmons" lable way back when. Very sweet lady.

Thanks Mr. Bovine for the link. It sheds some light on my experiences with Carol Kaye
I have spoken with Carol for about five hours total on two occasions when she visited my business about 6-7 years ago when she moved to Oceanside, CA. I'm telling you that women could talk! It got to the point where I had to make an excuse to get her to leave. She would just go on and on about the "old days" in recording. She talked about Jamison but to tell you the truth I don't remember the details. She had lots of stories about all kinds of things some sounding very outlandish and even unbelievable. She gave me a complete listing of her studio log which I have somewhere. She laid claim to playing bass on both the Doors "Light My Fire" and Jose Feliciano's version. She said she played the intro guitar on the original "La Bamba" and played bass on the same song for Los Lobos for the movie version. She had an impressive carreer but now I wonder where the line between truth and fiction is with her claims. It's too bad. She impressed me as a very lonely person who's glory days have passed.

Wanda Vick has made a great living in Nashville in the studios for many years. She is first call on many instruments for many producers. A finer player you'd have trouble finding. Male or female. just ask Nashville's finest Session leaders.
Dobro, lead guitar,piano, fiddle, rhythm guitar, mandolin and steel guitar. Jazz, Bluegrass,Country, you name it. Reads well but not enough to hurt her playing.
Remember "Nashville Now", "Prime Time Country" and the "Gathers Family Gospel Show", The band:"Wild Rose"???? She was the band leader for Porter Waggoners "The Right Combination" all girl band. She is now married to a great playing bass guitarest and a nice guy, also studio quality.
Few if any girls have done any better as musicians in the TV or recording studios in Nashville or anywhere. A tremendous talent. And her saga continues-------------

What BOBBE S. said !!!!!!I had the pleasure of working with Wanda in the studio all day yesterday on a European project with Charlie McCoy producing, and she is the real deal...dobro, fiddle, banjo, mandolin, seems like it doesn't matter which one she's on. All that talent and sooooo easy on the eyes too.
