It sounds like it could be either one of them. Ron Sodos, Question ? still remains, is there a Ernest Tubb recorded song, where Ernest says,(And Buddy) (Instead of Ah buddy) ? This is where all of the above I mentioned came out during that interview. I have a recorded interview session with Buddy, Hall Rugg on Eddie Stubbs Monday Night Show on WSM. also.īuddy was the first Pedal Steel Guitar intro on "Half a Mind" recording of E.T. Buddy and Bobby Garrett played twin steel for E.T. I had the pleasure of seeing a live performance of Buddy E playing with ET (remember Leon R being in the band also).īuddy played both Lead Guitar and Pedal Steel Guitar as a Texas Troubador. If I hear Van Zant or Big and Rich or Bon Jovi one more time I am gonna get sick and throw up.O well thank God for satellite radio. It was cancelled due to lack of interest. The station c alled "the Range" that used to be herre played older country. There are 2 "what they call" country music stations here in Albuquerque that I cannot listen to at all. By the way I just recently got XM Radio and I am in country music heaven. I'll keep listening and hope to hear it again. Now I can't remember which song it was for the life of me. The song i heard he said "and Buddy" not "ah Buddy". Sam Lewis, PedalMaster D-10, MSA Classic D-10, Twin Steel Kings and some other stuff that covers misteaks. If you can get your hands on the LP "Midnight Jamoree", recorded at ET record shop, you will hear Buddy play some great steel, in particular, Rose City Chimes. There is one song where Ernest says (and Buddy) instead of (Ah Buddy) But dang I cant remember the Title !!! not much help !! Jerry Byrd mentioned, in his book, a lot of info about the band bouncing around the country in an old bus. Several of the steelers were doing this to bend one or two strings. He was around 40 years old at the time, had a Fender double neck-and had drilled a couple of holes thru the body to run some cables. The call came within a couple of weeks and the steeler from New Orleans rejoined the band. Ernest came to New Orleans for a show and they talked about the steeler getting back with the Troubadors. This guy had been with ET for a short time and they split. Waltz Across Texas is Bud Charleton with Leon playing flattop guitar on the ride.ĭoes anyone know the name of a steel player from New Orleans that played with ET in 1956. I should have my bar and picks taken away and sit in the corner on my pack-a-seat for that. Was the steel guitarist on Tubb's "Seaman's Blues", "Waitin' for the Train" and a number of other ET hits of the time. Jerry Byrd was with ET in about 1948, was featured in the film of ET's life.called 'Hollywood Barn Dance'. Ron.I think the song you may have heard is called "Careless Darlin".they play it often on Hanks Place.I heard it on my way to work this afternoon.and right before the break as the steel starts to come in ET says "Buddy Emmons". (Corrected 4/15 from "Ah Buddy" to "Ah Buddy now" after hearing it again) Was it "Waltz Across Texas" ? He says "Ah Buddy now" in that one and its Buddy Charleton. Both Buddies played with Ernest.ĭickie Harris, Buddy Emmons, Jimmy Day, Bobby Garrett, Bud Charleton, Don Helms, Billy Robinson, Speedy West, Lynn Owsley, and Johnny Cox,are just a few of the greats that worked with ET either in person or on record. Is this a serious question? The serious answer is YES!!Īh, ah, ah! Could be Charleton. Well the playing was so sweet I am assuming this was the Big E. I was listenting to my new XM radio toiday and I heard an old Ernest Tubb recording and when the steel solo came on ernest said "and Buddy". Topic: Did Buddy Emmons play with Ernest Tubb?
