I believe it was Jay Dee Maness on most of Tony's stuff.

I'll agree with Skip’s comment and I don’t know about Mooney’s involvement. So, I guess that makes my Reply worthless¡ Sorry ’bout that!

I think Jerry Brightman also played on some of Tony's recordings.

Tony Booth lives just down the road from me; I will check with him and see if I can get the answer for you.
If you ever get around the Alvin, Tx. area, drop by on Friday and Saturday might at the Alvin Opry; you will find Tony singing and playing the bass, his brother Larry sets in also, and Norm Cass the guitar player are there.
These guys are part of the old Gene Watson Gand; you will hear some great playing and singing. The crazy cajun steeler is Louis Fornerat; a great player also.
Bobby Flores was there last weekend; now that was a great treat.
I will let you know about who was that steeler for Tony...........

Hey Tommy, if you can think of it, would you please, please, tell Tony hello for me (Dale Bennett) I've known him for years but haven't got to see him in a long time. I used to see him when he came here to Okc with Gene. I would sure appreciate it. Thanks Tommy. db

Jerry,

Was the bass player in the 2nd picture, identified as Doyle Singer, AKA Doyle Holly? Looks like the same guy to me, but y'all were so thin and the hair was longer so it's hard to be sure.

Doyle Singer and Doyle Holly are two different people. Doyle Holly was with Buck Owens for several years and played on the Carnegie Hall Album.

Sorry guys...I was in Nashville, and just returned and saw your post's. I think the question asked was about Doyle Singer/Doyle Holly. Doyle Holly was what I refer to, as most, part of the orginal Buckaroo's, along with Tom, Willie, and Don. Doyle Singer was added on bass, (thus starting the second generation of Buckaroo's) with Doyle Holly remaining on electric guitar until 1971. Jerry Wiggins followed Willie on drums and was with Buck 17+ years. Jim Shaw was added on keyboard in 1970-71, and along with Doyle Singer, is still with Buck, and of course all while Don Rich was still alive and in the band during all of those years through 1975. After that, the music began to take different directions as other members were added.

Ben and Ron, we all had a little less weight during those days

Jerry
