RIP Charles Clark.

Unfortunately my promised official interview with him never came off other than some long 'phone conversations. Ivan sure got it right - he was an interesting guy and a great player.

One of his finest works. He said to me once that this was a highlight of his career.

What a great album. The player contrast is amazing and some of Buddy's wild be-bopish (is that a word) solos are truly awesome. Pee Wee's smooth playing was just so cool.

I met PeeWee a few times during the late 60's & early 70's when I performed on the Reg Lindsay TV Show. He was always a true gentleman & always helpful regarding my questions about the pedal steel. At the time he had a double neck Emmons push pull. As I recall MSA were the only all pull instruments that I was aware of at that time.
