Lee Arnold or Lyle Reed.I Know that Don Larken is gone, and Bob Lockwood also.They were great Disc Jockeys ,and they play'd real country music.There was another guy called Dave Miller from W.P.A.T back in the 50'S. anyone remember him? |

Don't know if this is the same Lee Arnold. I grw up in NYC in the mid 40's and 50's and I sure remember Don Larkin and Lyle Reed. As child they gave me my introduction to Country Music. After I moved to Nashville in 1965. I traveled to NYC to work the Taft Hotel with Dave Dudley.Got to meet Lee Arnold but the memory has pretty much faded away.

| Yeah Richard, It's the same Lee Arnold. I would like to get in touch with him if it is possible. I heard he was on sattilite radio, but i don't think he is playing country music. Richard thanks for answering my post. |

Hank,
I remember seeing the Pell Brothers on the bill with Faron Young at the Terrace Ballroom that you are referring to. If I remember correctly a young Roger Miller was fronting for the Deputies on that show. Was Big Ben Keith the steel player? If I am not mistaken Elton Britt was also on the bill or was that with Jim Reeves the following or previous month.
If I remember right that was 1959 and I was going to College.

| Mike your right Roger Miller was fronting for Faron. He was a riot back stage.He said he didn't know kids from New York liked country music.I told him Ive been listening to country music since i was a baby.Mike Faron 's Steel Player at that time was, if i am correct Joe Vincent Or Joe Benson.I don't Remember Elton Britt being there at that show. |

Hey guys,
Thanks for the correction on the steel player. He had Big Ben with him in the early 60s when I saw him a few times when Darrell McCall was fronting the band. It was awesome!!
