The Steel Guitar Forum

Any one know who played steel on Tony Booth's recordings ?

I believe it was Jay Dee Maness on most of Tony's stuff.

Ralph Mooney did an album with him but I can't remember the name of the album.

I'll agree with Skip’s comment and I don’t know about Mooney’s involvement. So, I guess that makes my Reply worthless¡ Sorry ’bout that!

I think Jerry Brightman also played on some of Tony's recordings.

Tony Booth lives just down the road from me; I will check with him and see if I can get the answer for you.
If you ever get around the Alvin, Tx. area, drop by on Friday and Saturday might at the Alvin Opry; you will find Tony singing and playing the bass, his brother Larry sets in also, and Norm Cass the guitar player are there.
These guys are part of the old Gene Watson Gand; you will hear some great playing and singing. The crazy cajun steeler is Louis Fornerat; a great player also.
Bobby Flores was there last weekend; now that was a great treat.
I will let you know about who was that steeler for Tony...........

Hey Tommy that would be great if you could get it strait from him! I wish I was close enough to come hear him live,I hear him a lot on WWW.KWKZ.COM here in my neck of the woods and have wondered who his steeler was, he is one fine COUNTRY singer Thanks Tommy.

I contacted Fred J.yesterday and he informed me that Tony Booth and Johnny Booth are one and the same...Johnny Booth (by name) has an album titled "Johnny Booth Country '67"....This album features Ralph Mooney ......The album was produced by Cliffie Stone and made by Universal City Records...a division of MCA Inc.Stereo no. 73006 and mono no. 3006....hope this helps...

Thought this might help a little... http://steelguitarforum.com/Forum15/HTML/003792.html

Hey Tommy, if you can think of it, would you please, please, tell Tony hello for me (Dale Bennett) I've known him for years but haven't got to see him in a long time. I used to see him when he came here to Okc with Gene. I would sure appreciate it. Thanks Tommy. db

Jerry,

Was the bass player in the 2nd picture, identified as Doyle Singer, AKA Doyle Holly? Looks like the same guy to me, but y'all were so thin and the hair was longer so it's hard to be sure.

Doyle Singer and Doyle Holly are two different people. Doyle Holly was with Buck Owens for several years and played on the Carnegie Hall Album.

Hey Jerry who's that skinny kid on steel?

Ben

Doyle Singer aka Doyle Curtsinger.

Sorry guys...I was in Nashville, and just returned and saw your post's. I think the question asked was about Doyle Singer/Doyle Holly. Doyle Holly was what I refer to, as most, part of the orginal Buckaroo's, along with Tom, Willie, and Don. Doyle Singer was added on bass, (thus starting the second generation of Buckaroo's) with Doyle Holly remaining on electric guitar until 1971. Jerry Wiggins followed Willie on drums and was with Buck 17+ years. Jim Shaw was added on keyboard in 1970-71, and along with Doyle Singer, is still with Buck, and of course all while Don Rich was still alive and in the band during all of those years through 1975. After that, the music began to take different directions as other members were added.

Ben and Ron, we all had a little less weight during those days
