Came across this photo in a souvenir my wife bought in Nashville in '85.
The caption says it's from Red Foley's Ozark Jubilee from the 50's. Anyone recognize the steeler?

| I believe the steel player in this photo is Curley Chalker. |

That is a fact Harold L. Chalker aka Curley.
At the funeral home during Curley's visitation they had a t.v. and vcr set up showing old clips of shows he did during his career and they had a clip or two from that show with Curley and Thumbs Carlile.[sp]. It was very interesting to hear how his style developed over the years.
Boy I sure do miss ol' Curls.

| Yep....that's Curley on steel. The two fiddle players are Jimmy Belkin on the left and Johnny Manson on the right. Looks like Red Foley singing. Anyone know the piano player? |

Reece's right young Curly. I have heard many stories about him and Jimmy Day both playing on the Ozark Jubilee.
Speedy West knew and played with a bunch of those guys, but by that time he was already in California and he was doing is thing with Capitol records, etc., etc.
Reece please e-mail me!
