Who played steel for Ernest in 1963? I was 6 years old and I saw them at Espy Park in Halls, Tennessee.

Thanks, TommyG

Probably Buddy Charleton, who replaced Emmons.

I saw Ernest Tubb and the Texas two-by-fours about that time period and Buddy Charlton was on steel.
And doing an outstanding job, by the way!!

I saw Ernest Tubb around that time. Got back stage after the show. I met Buddy Charleton there. I had no idea what that Nashville country tuning was as I was playing mostly hawaiin music. I asked him how he tuned his steel, and he actually got a pen and paper and wrote it down for me. I was in awe. I was only 18 at the time. I couldn't believe how friendly he was.

Don Helms did that for me when I was still a pickin on a lap geetar. Super nice guy. I met Charlton at Sunset Park in Maryland. He was a fine gentlman. He shook my hand and made a nice remark about my a pickin and grinin. We were the local yocals a pickin there.
