I noticed on the website for ET's Shops that the "Maestro" is with Johnny Bush on the above date. Buddy has confirmed he will be there...............I can't wait. I did not notice any mention of the gig under this topic or any others on the forum. Could I be like Paul Revere? The Maestro is coming....................

Russ Hicks told me a couple weeks ago that Laney will be singing the "Nameless Shuffle" with the great Mr. Emmons...that will be a great event also!

Wonder if Buddy will be playing his "Hybrid" Zum?

I wish I could be there.

Yes, I’ll be working with one of my favorite saddle pals, Johnny Bush. We’ve known each other for a long time and it’s always great to work with him just to be the subject of his abuse.

In regard to the Nameless Shuffle, Laney and I won’t be doing the song together. I’ve decided to quit playing it on stage as an instrumental or vocal.
I’ll be bringing my Zum all-pull guitar to the date. It will be a fun night; and as for Bruce Heffner coming to the show all the way from Pennsylvania I’m completely blown away. I never realized he was such a Johnny Bush fan.

My thanks to Bruce for the post and the support all these years and I’ll see you at the Midnight Jamboree.

E,
I, also am an avid Johnny Bush fan. I will journey all the way from Kentucky to the show.

Well, I was looking forward to hearing a hybrid... but it probably wouldn't make a bit of difference under your hands, Buddy... will it be ok if I try to take some pictures?

Oh, Bud... I have a pack of pictures that Dad took... they were developed in April, 1960. They were from the DJ Convention prior to that. Opry and Jamboree pics. Can I bring them and have you take a look at them? You might be able to help identify some of the folks in them...

Buddy Emmons · Post by **Buddy Emmons** » 1 Jan 2007 12:28 pm

Mike… I’ll be happy to see the pictures and take all the pictures you want. Both the Hybrid and the all-pull sound very similar with the same Lawrence pickups, so having been used to the anti pitch drop mechanism in my previous guitar and being able to tune the raises and lowers the same way made me opt for the all-pull guitar. At my age, the more I don’t have to think about, the better.
Bob… I’ve known you were a Bush fan for a long time. Johnny has told me many times that you liked his singing a lot better than mine.

Last year, when I was "promoting" the vocal rendition of "Nameless Shuffle", my buddy, David McCormack, extended a standing invitation to me to be a guest on the next Midnight Jamboree featuring Johnny Bush and Buddy Emmons. We couldn't do the show as scheduled last year because of an illness in Johnny's family, so the "guest" invitation carried forward to the upcoming show.
It was a clumsy assumption on my part, and I apologize for the confusion and for not clearing this with Buddy.
"Nameless Shuffle" is one of mine, and many others', favorite songs, and I regret that for any reason he has decided to "retire" it. But, I respectfully honor those wishes, and I'll state once more how much I appreciate having had the distinct privilege of recording and performing it with "the Maestro".

Happy New Year Y'all!
Laney

Boy, you guys are lucky to able to attend that show and see Buddy. I am sure he will show all of us a few things...al:(

Ernie Renn · Post by **Ernie Renn** » 4 Jan 2007 10:23 am

Patrick;

The Midnite Jamboree is held at the Texas Troubadour Theatre, hooked onto the Ernest Tubb Record Shop close to where Opryland was in Nashville (in Music Valley Village.) Check ErnestTubb.com for more details.

The show starts as soon as the Saturday night, January 20th Opry is over. You can listen to the show that night on-line via WSM On-line.

Justin Griffith · Post by **Justin Griffith** » 4 Jan 2007 6:10 pm

Just got off the phone with Tx John Loaner (Johnny Bush's alter ego)
He says he is looking foreward to the Midnite Jamboree.
He also said Bubba Edmonds is still his favorite fan.

Best,
Justin

I am so looking forword to this great evening that I am bumping the post, so anyone who did not view it earlier may have a chance to attend this rare event to see and hear the Maestro at such an intimate venue.

Buddy I remembered when you did a road show with Ray Price back in the 6O's at the 1440 Club in Santa Clara, California Ray had Dale Mcall with him that's about all I could remember as I had just started playing drums and still playing. I have always liked Buddy's playing I have an album of Ernest Tubb and on the front cover is none other then the King him self, it's called the MId Night Jambree. I wouldn't take anything for it, it's so old. I know I can replace it but the real one is cool. Buddy do you remember that show?

Joe Fortune · Post by **Joe Fortune** » 15 Jan 2007 2:34 pm

Weather permitting, Sue and I will be there. Can't wait to hear that tone live, and in person.
