Im not sure if they meant he was playing with him when it came out, not necessarily that he was on the recording. This is direct from his Obit. Interesting though.

Your welcome JR. Here is just a brief from his Obituary. He died in 2006.
At 17 was performing with Hank Thompson. In 1956 he joined the Ray Price band and contributed his talents to the #1 hit song ...

You are talking about Gene Gasaway. What a character. Heck of a fiddle player. I enjoyed when I got to gig with him.

I was seated right in front and the Arkansas boy did a great job. His whole set was very good and Bobby both. I got to play that guitar in Terry's booth after his set. The cross shafts were seated in ...

The Steel Player is Harland Powell.

Hello Mark, A good looking Bud. Was wondering what the serial number might be. A 74 6139 would be round front, rack and barrel or barrel tuning and gumby headstock with wide pedals. This one looks to ...

Zane, it reminds me how Zane Beck would think outside the box. It is good to see you carry on the tradition.
As I think through the history of all kinds of music, where would be if we hadn't had folk ...

Hey Jerry,
Will there be any songs in Bb like last meeting. They left Bb off of my old Shobud.
Hope to see you guys!

Egil, the guy on the back row 2nd from the left is Jim Bob Hyde. Jim and his son in law were killed in a crop duster plane crash. Jim was from Ozark Arkansas. I have a book that belonged to Jim that h ...

I would like to thank everyone for making me feel welcome today. I enjoyed the playing and fellowship. It was good to get the old axe out and dust out the cobwebs. It was also good to see and play wit ...

Who was the steel player on idol tonight? Sounded great on You Were Always On My Mind. Excellent taste and great tone on the Sierra. Hat was cool too..wonder if that would help my playing.

James,
I was trying to remember back to early eighties at Shobud. If I remember right I believe we put a rectangle aluminum box on a superpro with switch and tone control between the necks. Micro swi ...

Bas
It is good to see the ShoBud pics. I worked for ShoBud in Conway in early 80s. The person that is thought to be Katz looks like Yasu. Shot took him in during Nashville times. He came to Conway an ...

Yep Carson,
Did it everyday at the Shobud factory. I used an E tuning fork for reference and then used similiar technique as Bruce Bouton reference. Even did this when I played.

I remember when Ben Jack had his collection in the back of his music store in Fort Smith Arkansas. It was really neat. This is similar to the museum in Nashville that had lost its building do to progr ...

Henry, this guitar wouldnt have belonged to a Dennis Chandler from DeQueen? I grew up in DeQueen and we never got to play together but we knew each other. I worked for ShoBud in Conway in early 80s be ...

I was called to do a benefit concert for Bob Morris before he died. Freddie Hart performed also. The guitorgan was used that night for the organ part and the steel player was using a dekley.

Mallets play a big factor with the marimba. As do mallets so does picks/strings/bar weight/string pressure/attack. Material of instrument is a big factor but how a pickup is wound tends to be one of t ...

Depends on the size of the band. A smaller group would need more chord fill. I was playing a sit down stage show and took the Buddy idea of pulling my hands of off the guitar and smiling at the audien ...

Hey Jonathan,

Is 12th and porter still painted a lime green?
I did a show case for an artist there in 1993. Thing I remember most was the chicken wire over the bar. I wasnt sure about that. They s ...

Hey JP where are you located in Arkansas?

Randy my four year old granddaughter just payed me the best compliment of all. She looked at the picture of Blake and Zane and said look papa..it's you. I could never match my friend's playing but wha ...

Yep Glen that is Blake.
I first met Zane and Blake around this time.
What a picker. Blake and I never got to play on the same stage but heard each other and visited about Zane's tuning. He was one o ...

Wow Augutus,

So many folks no longer with us. Brings back alot of memories. These are great.

How about someone naming the folks. That would be a great challenge on some.

Joe
