On record he has also used Buddy Emmons, and Sonny Garrish. Sonny played on the tune "If You're Gonna Do Me Wrong". Several guys have worked the road for Vern including yours truely.

He played a show here at the spirit Of Suwannee Music Park, they had no steel for this show, also they had no amps or sound system on stage, head phones and I guess trans mitters on their insturments,very good sound and a great guitar player, I think he told me he was the band leader, it was a great show and the crowd really loved it.
Harold Meeks came over to Nan and I and gsve us $10.00 bucks and said go have your picture taken with him a lot of people fell in line after us.
