| Dickie Harris, Buddy Emmons, Jimmy Day, Bobby Garrett, Bud Charleton, Don Helms, Billy Robinson, Speedy West, Lynn Owsley, and Johnny Cox,are just a few of the greats that worked with ET either in person or on record. Quite a list I would say. |

Was it "Waltz Across Texas" ? He says "Ah Buddy now" in that one and its Buddy Charleton.
(Corrected 4/15 from "Ah Buddy" to "Ah Buddy now" after hearing it again)

Jerry Byrd was with ET in about 1948, was featured in the film of ET's life....called 'Hollywood Barn Dance'.
Was the steel guitarist on Tubb's "Seaman's Blues", "Waitin' for the Train" and a number of other ET hits of the time. |

| Ray I forgot all about Jerry Byrd. I should have my bar and picks taken away and sit in the corner on my pack-a-seat for that. Waltz Across Texas is Bud Charleton with Leon playing flattop guitar on the ride. |

Does anyone know the name of a steel player from New Orleans that played with ET in 1956. This guy had been with ET for a short time and they split. Ernest came to New Orleans for a show and they talked about the steeler getting back with the Troubadors. The call came within a couple of weeks and the steeler from New Orleans rejoined the band. He was around 40 years old at the time, had a Fender double neck-and had drilled a couple of holes thru the body to run some cables. Several of the steelers were doing this to bend one or two strings.
Jerry Byrd mentioned, in his book, a lot of info about the band bouncing around the country in an old bus. ET's brother drove the bus!

If you can get your hands on the LP "Midnight Jamoree", recorded at ET record shop, you will hear Buddy play some great steel, in particular, Rose City Chimes.
Sam Lewis, PedalMaster D-10, MSA Classic D-10, Twin Steel Kings and some other stuff that covers misteaks. |

The song i heard he said "and Buddy" not "ah Buddy". I distinctly heard him say it. Now I can't remember which song it was for the life of me. I'll keep listening and hope to hear it again. By the way I just recently got XM Radio and I am in country music heaven. There are 2 "what they call" country music stations here in Albuquerque that I cannot listen to at all. The station c alled "the Range" that used to be herre played older country. It was cancelled due to lack of interest. If I hear Van Zant or Big and Rich or Bon Jovi one more time I am gonna get sick and throw up...O well thank God for satellite radio......

Buddy played both Lead Guitar and Pedal Steel Guitar as a Texas Troubador. Buddy and Bobby Garrett played twin steel for E.T. also.
Buddy was the first Pedal Steel Guitar intro on "Half a Mind" recording of E.T.
I have a recorded interview session with Buddy, Hall Rugg on Eddie Stubbs Monday Night Show on WSM. This is where all of the above I mentioned came out during that interview.

In Waltz across Texas Ernest says at the
steel break Oh Buddy Now. He does not say
which Buddy. It sounds like it could be either one of them.
In Half a mind Ernest dont call any names.
This is " The Best of Ernest Tubb" The
Millennium Collection. |

Until Buddy steps in... 
Buddy played with Tubb for about 3 to 3 1/2 years, from '60 to sometime in '63, and then went with Ray Price. |

ET re-recorded "Half a Mind" with George Jones and Buddy E....possibly in the 70's.
Just before Buddy takes off on that great ride, ET says..."Buddy Emmons now". Then, half way through he says "Remember this, Buddy?"...and adds "you couldn't stay away could you?"...an ad lib apparently timed to break-up Mr. E.
I'd like to know the story behind that one! |

I had the honor of seeing ET many, many times when he had Charleton and Rhodes. This is the way it went most of the time. If Leon took the first part of the break it was "Ah Leon" then when Charleton took the second half it was "and Buddy". I've heard "ah Buddy, ah Buddy now, here's Buddy Charleton", and lots of other ones. I missed seeing Emmons with ET. My loss! ET thought a lot of the Troubadours, that's why
he always had a top-notch group.
Bill Mitchell.........I heard the story behind that remark once "remember this Buddy?" but I can't recall what it was. It had something to do with Emmons coming back from California I think.[This message was edited by les green on 14 April 2006 at 07:45 PM.] |

ET would say many things to introduce a solo and to call attention to a musician,you are all correct in a way.
Buddy Emmons,according to ET, would sometimes hold his breath during a solo,on some old live recordings you can hear ET clearly saying,"Ahh Buddy Emmons now",then quietly,"breathe in....breathe out"
It was always a contest to see if you could really make your stage partners just lose it with laughter...and ET was a master of this...ET would at times make it a free for all by saying" Ahh Somebody Play Now!"
Buddy Emmons was the player on "Half A Mind" originally.Buddy Charleton was the player on "Waltz Across Texas"originally.
Buddy Emmons was with ET regularly from 1957 to 1962, there were other times he would appear for short spans...
"Could'nt stay away,could you Buddy?"[This message was edited by Lynn Owsley on 16 April 2006 at 11:43 AM.] |
