Back in around 1946, Jerry Byrd & Chet Atkins shared a show over WSM.....called Two Guitars.
Is there any chance that any of you olde timers have a wire or tape recording of even just one of these
historical shows? Would love to include clips on the Jerry Byrd Fan Club site. |

In 1952 and '53, Chet Atkins and Jerry Byrd had a regular radio broadcast called "Two Guitars." Anyone know if recordings of those shows exist? I'd sure like to hear 'em.

I talked with Jerry about a week before he passed. He was full of stories and I just let him talk. Wish I could have recorded that phone call. He told me the "Two Guitars" was never recorded, but he wished they would have looking back. They played mostly old standards not country. The guitarist in nashville at the time that knew all those old tunes was Billy Byrd and they hired him to play rhythm guitar. Jerry said how much he loved working with Chet and Hank Garland. What a player Jerry was and a great person as well. Another steel player who could keep you laughing for hours. Rest in peace dear friend. I miss Jerry so much. Bobby

| I've posted a query on this a couple of times over the years, but with no luck. One guy did respond, and said he had taped hours of them on reel, and would convert them for me, but I never heard back. From what I recall he didn't have the equipment to convert it at the time, so I offered to do it for him, and even pay shipping for the reels. Bummer, as these shows would be precious to Byrd fans. |
