| Just was thinking about " Teddy & Ina Bear ". Those two could really sing Country Music great together. Ina really Loved Jeffrey Steele. And Teddy would always say,man I wish I could sing and play Bass Guitar like him. Memories of them both still filter in my mind. May you both rest in Peace. Your Friend forever, Leo J.Eiffert,Jr. |

Wow Leo, Teddy & Ina Bear? I haven't thought of them in years. I just got out an old video tape of a benefit we did for Hank Cochram where Teddy and Ina sang a couple of tunes. Also he got up with our trumpet player (Gino Ciriano) and did the Louis Armstrong style vocals to "Hello Dolly"....
I think Teddy might have been one of the first or maybe even the first person I worked with when I got out of the Army in '63. The place was "Hap's Lucky Spot" a few blocks down the street from the Hitchin' Post in Gardena. It was a Friday, Saturday, & Sunday thing in that little beer bar. I remember that Teddy was still married to his first wife Frances. In the band we had a steel player they called "Little Hap" who also sang and yodeled and a female drummer/vocalist named Cookie who had a very jealous husband. I was on guitar but I can't remember who the bass player was......JH in Va.

I played lead guitar for Teddy arourd '77, before I got into steel. We played at a club called the Back Door in North Long Beach. I remember him as being a nice guy and a great singer.
