I am curious about how they (Joey Welz?) recorded Santoâ€™s Custom T8 on Sleep Walk.

Joey Welz?

THE Joey Welz??

What did he have to do with the Farinas or with Canadian-American?

I know some of them.

I'd guess the typewritten portion likely is no later than the mid 50s?, with the handwritten portions added later over time.

Danny Ross; made some excellent recordings circa ...

That's Roy McCoy.

AKA Cigar McCoy.

Also to be heard on Bobby Sisco's "Honky Tonkin' Rhythm" and on Bob Burton's "Tired Of Rocking".

Here's a list of 115 songs with Bob Dunn on steel, from the mid 1930s to about 1950. Only a very few after the early 40s.

The Milton Brown recordings are not included.

Other than the Brown stuff ...

Recorded in Dallas on October 9, 1941.

The other 5 titles recorded by the Mounce band that day were:

I'm Sorry That You've Gone
18 Months, Little Darlin'
What's Bob Done
I Thought About You
...

There's well over a hundred Thompson transcriptions, most of which have been reissued.

Steel on most is either unknown or speculation.

Chalker is believed to be on the ones I listed and likely o ...

Jim:

This isn't a complete list by any means, but it will give you a start.

I'd guess most are on youtube. I think all are non-pedal, but couldn't swear to it.

Good for you....here's another pic from an unknown date.

What town and cemetery?

Jim Beam and beef jerky. I suppose it's anybody's guess what you might find there.

The "unknown group" is the Dick Miller band.

I don't know who the steeler is.

As far as I know, his first recordings were circa 1955 with Leo Ogletree......recorded in Tucson.

Hal was about 19 at the time.

I seriously doubt it is Joanie.

Joanie not quite old enough, I'd guess.

I think Marian was born in 1935. Joanie at most 4 years older?
