Those were the good old days in country music and steel guitar. I was lucky enough to see this band live many times. They played in Ft Smith on their first tour with Buddy Charlton when he replaced Emmons.

| It don't get much better than that. I bought that steel around 1968 and played it for five years and sold it to Steve Silver. It was my first ten string steel. Unfortunately,Buddy didn't leave any licks on it. |

Thanks once again...........for some of the greatest two-guitars in recorded history.
The arrangements they shared, trading off throughout the songs, seems to be a lost art among many of today's wanna-be STAR musicians. I surely miss those days........even tho' they were only on a minor scale.
Oh, by the way!
The Forum Majority....failed to tell LEON RHODES that it wasn't politically correct to have his name emblazened on his guitar's pick-guard. (Didn't seem to adversely affect his pickin' tho', did it?)
Also, the matching uniforms weren't all that bad. In fact, the olde timer that I am, I sorta enjoy them.
Atleast, it looks like they came together on the same bus. |

If im not mistaken, that sho-bud was originally my grand-dad's before it belonged to Buddy. He said he regrets he got rid of it...  |

I recently asked Buddy if he had his old Troubadour suits. He said he sold them all to a band in California a few years ago for $50 each! Some were of 'em were Nudies. I've seen some of Hank Thompson's stuff go for big stacks o' cash on eBay.

| I thought I had read somewhere that Paul Franklin and Brent Mason composed and recorded a tribute number in the style of Buddy C and Leon Rhodes. If I recall the title was, "Doin' the Charlton". |
