I got to see Van when I was realy young about 8 or 9 yrs old. Glad to see he's still singing. Would love to be there but I will be listening. I was real young but remember that Buddy and Van play together very early in there careers. My step father was a huge fan of Mr Howard he would tell me stories. A fond memory of mine was my mother and dad dancing to Van's music.

Van Howard set the standard for all harmony singers in the mid fifties. Thats Van on Crazy Arms, My Shoes keep Walkin' Back to you, It's all your Fault,and many many more Ray Price hits. He was a great solo singer in his own right but gave up the Nashville seen to work in business in Texas. I always enjoyed Van and I have his latest CD with the "BIG E" on steel. Great stuff. I got mine at the ET record shop. Glad to see Van back on the mucic seen. Best of luck to Van and the boys sat. night. Go play some of that good country music. I will be listening. Bobby

Several years back at the Dallas Show, Van Howard was in the audience as was Curtis Potter. I had a bright idea. On Jimmy Day's set, I got Curtis potter to do a few Ray Price songs with Van Howard on harmony. Also we had Dale Potter on fiddle. Brought the house down. Got the show a little behind, but nobody cared. See what you miss by not attending? Jody..

Can somebody record this for me? I'm playing way up north in MN, (where the sticks turn to twigs,) and won't be able to listen. Thanks!

If you happen to be in the Nashville area, please take me some pictures, too! Very Happy

The last time he was out there he had a black guitar, and I thought that was the hybrid, so I dunno.

Gee, I wish I could have been to the Midnight Jamboree. It's always a must-see event when Buddy plays, not to mention the fact Van Howard sang, too! Speaking of Van Howard and his fame as a harmony singer, does anyone know if it was Van Howard's harmony or Ray Price double-tracking himself on "Please Talk To My Heart"? That harmony gives me 3rd-degree chills when ever I hear it.

Keep on pickin'!

Talking about Buddy Emmons and telling people how much I appreciate him and seeing others do the same is such a redundant thing that I'm trying in my own feeble way to find another way to salute this great hero of steel guitar.

Help me, what can we do and how is there another way to let him know how much he is appreciated?

We also need to have a way to let the many generations of future players know how great he is, lets face it, we don't want him and his legacy to be lost in the future,,, or in 50 years having folks asking if he was as good as Jerry Garcia and the like.
Guys, he is the truest form of greatness there is today, WE ALL KNOW THIS, but lets show Buddy and future generations how we appreciate this mans brutal talent. I know of no one that has influenced steel guitar it such a great way. The legend of legends.
Lets do it while we can.

Good post, Bobbe, I like your phrase "brutal talent." Smile

Does anyone have any new info regarding the documentary which was being filmed about Buddy?

Bobbe, You said it my friend. Not only did he influence steel players but players of other instruments as well. When it comes to backing a singer, he wrote the book. He also has an uncanny way of putting his instrumentals in the pocket, tempo wise. He is a hoot to work with and I am so proud I had the chance to do just that. I also can call him my friend. Bobbe, Thanks for the post. You are a jewel. Loveya pal, Bobby

Guys, thank you for understanding me, Sometimes I wonder what my life would have been like without Buddy's vast influence on it, I'll bet not as good, not as fun and not as profitable! Ha!

Thank you buddy, you'll never know

bobbe's right,
it's like telling George Jones he's the greatest country singer to ever live. how many times has he heard that, not just from the public but from other artist.
nashville was able to secure his legacy even with the pop/rock goes the country attorney mentality.

since you brought it up bobbe, maybe you could help with some ideas. the Garcia comment was too much, but so possibly true.

again the same thing could have happened to G. Jones, is he is good as Tim Mgraw.....point taken

NOW WHAT?

Close Randy, but I feel comparing Buddy E. to Jerry G. is more like comparing George Jones to Tiny Tim. There is NO comparison. Shouldn't be even mentioned in the same sentence, but possibly only a musician would realize this fact. We aren't talkin' sho-biz here, we are talkin'musicianship.
Ask a musician, not a teenie bopper on the street with a cellphone in her ear. I'm talkin'refined talent here. (what is a Tim McGraw? Tiny Tim McGrown up?)

Good to hear from you Randy,
Your friend,
Bobbe

No doubt your point is well made Bobbe.

I thinking of the generation today and their kids wouldn't have a clue of George J. vocal genius, and would prefer Tim M, who has never learned to play the guitar or write a song.
However Nashville has done something to protect George's legacy. Although I have to believe there is some kind of financial gain just coming from the source.
These two singers should not even be mentioned in the same sentence......Just as it was a shock to hear Buddys name mentioned in the same sentence with Jerrys for any musician qualified to get paid for gig more than twice in his life.
You just made a very strong point by saying that. How could that be possible, well it could be possible.
The million dollar question is how to prevent it.
I will throw some out there for kicks as if I was in the room with couple of songwriters. You mentioned how to show Buddy how much he means without the same old cliches.
I was asked to play fiddle at a club in Austin where the pros hang out on a special night to celebrate Buck Owens birthday 15 years back. Well it turned into an annual event that Buck actually came to once.
Like song writing this is just cynergy nothing more than perhaps to get the ball rolling and maybe you and anybody else can take it from there. And perhaps evolve it into something else intirely.

Your turn my friend,
Randy
