Georgia Public Broadcsting just aired a feature titled "Grand Ole Opry's Vintage Classics". One segment was Ray Price singing "Crazy Arms". When it got to the break, the twin fiddles got great face shots, but when it got to the steel part, there was a great shot of the player's HANDS playing a quad neck guitar. Were those your hands, Buddy? |

If they played the clip I am familiar with, I think may have been a shot of Jimmy Day's hands from a different segment edited in ... the Gannaway film is haphazard about stuff like that...
during the time period the Gannaway segments were shot, BE was playing with Dickens and I think had yet to have worked for Ray Price, Day was playing with Jim Reeves and others, Johnny Sibert was playing for Carl Smith, Jack "Curly" Evins was playing with Ray in some segments...
damn I want a time machine so bad I can taste it.. |

Buddy Emmons switched from being a Texas Troubador to being a Cherokee Cowboy in 1961. I believe the Ganoway films stopped being produced in about 1957.???

I mentioned that clip on another post. The 4 neck steel had a couple of things moving at the peghead which were obviously doing the pedal changes. You could see them on the 2nd neck from the outside moving up and down as if they might have been pushing the strings to make the changes.....JH in Va.

Roger, I'm pretty sure they weren't mine.

Wayne, if you had "Ask Wayne" started when I posted this, I would have put it there! Hope you're doing good.

I've seen that performance. On other songs in the same set you can clearly see that it's Jimmy Day. |

DVA...Great pics! The shot on the show was taken from an angle slightly behind and from the left of the player, so the front of the guitar was not visible. The top of the guitar looks identical to the one in your photo. If memory serves me correctly, I saw a wedding band on the player's left hand. Was Jimmy married them? |
