steel player & fiddler
Just rec'd a great picture of Jerry Byrd playing his Rick with Harold Bradley (guitar) and others. Jerry was seated and using a metal tri-pod stand like an Oahu or National of olde. WALTER HAYNES was playing fiddle in this particular setting. I tho't he played steel? Oh well, at least he wasn't playing a banj'r.

Ray, Jerry and I played a lot of the Opry shows taped at the Rhyman. I believe the last count I had we did about 180 shows with different stars. On most of them I played pedal steel and Jerry played rhythm guitar because he said they wanted pedals. I told Jerry he must be kidding, I felt like a step child playing steel and Byrd setting close to me playing guitar. But he was the leader of the band and that was his call!!
