Monday afternoon I caught the last 30 minutes of Midwest Country show and saw one of Porter Wagoners' ol' singing partners. Do ya'll remember pretty lil'Miss Norma Jean? She was singing "Lets' Go All The Way". I just love the classic & traditional country music shows on RFD TV. Joe Savage was playing in top form as always.

Tommy,
I had already just posted this video the other day, but several years ago I got to play behind Pretty Miss Norma Jean on Brother Bailes TV Show as they both sang "Dust on the Bible". She was a real treat to work with.

Nick I'm telling on myself (age wise),when I was about 4 or 5 years old, I remember sitting down in front of the TV with dad watching Porter on Saturday afternoon,and he would bring Norma Jean out on stage to perform. She would sing, "Let's Go All The Way".
Golly time flies. Tommy |

Hey Nick,
I saw the video you were talking about, plus I saw some of the videos of you playing.You are truly superb player. I love those old Ray Price songs that you were playing. What year is your P/P?

Hey Nick,
Mine is an 84' PP, with black crinkle mica and aluminum necks. I'll try to upload a picture and send it to you. I love the sound of it. Those are some beautiful instruments you have. What type of amp were you using in your videos ? |
