Have great performance by JERRY BYRD........ "Young People Continue Traveling".... as guessed, it's Japanese (I believe?) Great instrumental and JERRY BYRD all the way.
An olde HANK SNOW tune, with JERRY BYRD playing some beautiful fills and the like. The song: "Blue for old Hawaii".....and it's the way good music used to be.
You might give it a listen then share your views on the steel guitar.....with those of us here on the Forum. |

A great pair,two of my heros,When I was a ten year old country boy and heared Hank on the radio doing I'm moving on,that is what made me want to be a musician,And hearing Jerry on so many hit songs at that time made me fall in love with the steel guitar.

Now, you are bringing back many memories about a man [ men ] whom brought much joy to his fellow Canadians and to every-one else on the Universe; and Hank always had a fine taste for his back-up musicians; Our beloved Jerry Byrd, being a great addition to any C/W vocalist. Another steel player whom I thought brought out the best in Hank's talents was a fellow steeler by the name of Buford Gentry. What a grand sound this guy provided on a small " LAP' guitar. Do any of you remember this GENT? I admired Jerry Byrd on several of Hank, Sr.'s recordings. [ Plus many other artists..]

Bernie, I certainly remember Buford Gentry. I have seen him play in person. He got a great sound from his lap steel. The fiddle player at the time was Chubby Wise.
When Buford played, I could hear some Jerry Byrd sounds coming from the steel. Those are good memories. ............. JD

John, you are another steel player whom has very good taste in your favorite musicians; Yes, I agree whole-heartly about Jerry's style of playing coming thru in Buford's picking that small lap-top.. I believe I had the good fortune of seeing him, along with Hank Snow; at a live performance of The Grand Ole Opry. Hank was no amateur on the flat-top guitar, either. I have many of Hank's old 33 and1/3 Albums. Loved him dearly but like so many singers, would be nothing with-out their steel guitar backing friends..That's what I call great C/W Music.. Thanks, John, for your opinion..Bernie [/b]

This is a real oldie, Ray. Thanks for posting it.
Recording artists were fortunate to have Jerry Byrd backing them up.
Hank and Anita Carter sang together on Bluebird Island. I believe this was in the 60's. Who was the steeler on Bluebird Island. Maybe Kayton Roberts. He has a great Hawaiian style.
Thanks for keeping the site going!

Ray And Dave; Not a 100% but that may have been Kayton; I'll get out my Hank S.. records and see if I have that tune.. I have an inkling that possibly it was our boy, Jerry. He did an awful lot of recording in Nashville, at that time. But I'm certain you Jerry Byrd fans can come to our rescue.. please..Bernie

Posted 18 Apr 2007 5:41 pm Kayton Roberts or JERRY BYRD?
|

"Blue Bird Island", as I best recall, is NOT, JERRY BYRD. My first guess is that it is Kayton, but I'm not an expert on Kayton's style.
What say the rest of you guys/gals? |

| I went to an outdoor Hank Snow show in the summer of 1971, near Dresser,Wisconsin. I met Kayton there and he told me, that he had only been working for Hank Snow for a few months. |
