I'd appreciate ANY HELP you SGF Members might care to render. Others among you might also enjoy the responses anticipated here.
While scanning the You Tube pages of Don Gibson Favorites...... I encountered a photo of one of Gibsons' bands. Search the song title of "Someday You'll Want Me to Want You"............
The photo is described as 6/19/68 at the Nashville Studios of RCA Victor.
It lists the names of Ray Edenton, Grady Martin, Pete Drake (double neck Fender steel guitar), Junior Husky (bass), Chet Atkins (guitar).
Admittedly I was never inside the loop in Nashville but something about the photo caption seem to me to be in error.
As I see it: I see Grady Martin kneeling down on the right side front row of this photo next to a Fender twin that he used to play thro' on the Grand Ole Opry.
The fellow standing up playing the electric bass behind Grady, appears to me, to be Chet Atkins, particularly the ears.
I feel that the fellow standing on the left side of the photo would be Junior Husky.
Does this steel player REALLY look like Pete Drake?
I'd appreciate your comments. Many thanks. |

Ray, I'm assuming this is the picture.. Those you mentioned are the musicians on the recording, but they aren't the same people as the ones in the picture. There appears to be a name written on the Telecaster guitar just above the pickguard, but I can't make it out.

| What a great photo of some of the first musicians smitten by the original Fender electric instruments and amplifiers. This is probably what old Leo had envisioned when he drew 'em up. Thank you! |

Looks like Tommy Hill on fiddle.

| I think that's probably a pic of Don with his road band.The wide-panel and V-front Fender amps,blackguard Tele and blackguard slab-body P-bass plus the clothing make this look early to mid-'50s.Love the ashtray to the Tele player's right! |

Here's another picture Ray asked me to post - pretty much the same guys except the guitar player's missing - (he's probably the one taking the picture.) Hope this is the right picture, Ray…

The steel player is the one I saw with him at the Midday Merry Go Round in Knoxville. I'm guessing Chris Dayton. The guitar is right as that is what I remember him playing in those days.

Looks like Bud Isaacs on steel, not real sure.
