That's the problem with fact checking everything but one key person's recall, you end up with a myth.

If you'e referring to the two onstage photos at the start of this topic, the first with Haggard fronting the band is from no earlier than 1962, with Ralph Mooney on the left, the drummer might be Spee ...

There's various pics of Roy on this page, including one of him playing the doubleneck at the Foothill Club.

The timeline suggested here might be a bit off, I assume someone told you Roy had the doubleneck in 1959-1960, but these pics are from the Nashville Nevada Club, which opened in late 1961, and Merle H ...

Old post, but just ran across while researching Leodie.

Leodie was with Jimmie Dolan's band in late 1951, he recorded with Dolan on at least two sessions in 1952, which is presumably when the firs ...

Jimmy played with the Cody crew in early 1974, Bobby Black wrapped up his first stint around the end of 1973, not long after the Airmen recorded their first official live album.

Thanks guys, and Joachim that guitar is a 1972 David Russell Young Custom Dreadnought, there's a few online mentions with pics, this is probably the best:

These pics haven't surfaced anywhere else, brilliant.

Regarding Mitch's pic, I'm assuming that's 1962 when Donnie Young-Paycheck rejoined on bass, and Buddy Spicher was probably the newest member as I've seen pics of the same group, except Shorty Lavende ...

I might point out that despite a thriving live scene, Bluegrass never really seems to have broken out in the SoCal area, except for the Ash Grove.

Pic of shorty in a band context appears here, if you track down the original poster you might get a better - larger copy so you can get a close-up of Shorty.

Geez Jerry, I read Billy's post and thought of the same two guys!

I recall interviewing a chap from Wisconsin who recorded with rock bands and moved to LA to play the Valley clubs and focus on a record deal in the mid 1960s.

Just re-checked my interview notes with Carl, the Hangin' On session included both Carl and Clarence, guitar by Clarence, dobro by Carl.

Here's where I made my mistake and mixed up a couple of det ...

Although I might add, Clarence was involved with the Gosdins prior to the Paxton - Bakersfield International deal, and played on the sessions that became their Capitol LP via a deal with Paxton.

Clarence has been credited on some Gosdin sessions that were Carl Walden on dobro, their "Hangin' On" 45 is all Carl and pre-dates Clarence joining the Gary Paxton stable of session cats.

Hi Don, thanks for the information, I hadn't seen the post, so I appreciate your message.
