I don't recall if I responded to that former post on a JBFC but if I didn't, count me in !

I know Jerry played on alot of early E.T., but I don't know where to find that material. I have a couple of songs, like "Have You Ever Been Lonely," but would like to know more.

Thanks!

Homer Haynes was great guitarist and could play any chord in the world on his big Stromberg guitar,,,Jethro was greater than great and Chet?? what more can be said about these giants.

"You Hit The Nail Right On The Head" / ?

"Answer To A Railbow At Midnight" / "Headin' Down The Wrong Highway"

"A Lonely Heart Knows" / "A Woman Wrecked Many A Goog Man"

"Seaman's Blues" / "Waiting For A Train"

"Let's Say Goodbye Like We Said Hello" / "Have You Ever Been Lonely ?"

I also have Don Ho "30 Hawaiian Favorites" CD from the Beautiful Music Company. There are quite a few cuts with JB on it. The only bad part, is that I don't know of an 800# or website for them.

The address on the CD is:

Of course, Jerry Byrd is playing his Rick in the movie and it's a fun collector's item.

Where can I order the Hollywood Barn Dance video? As a kid I went to that movie everyday it played in Lima, Ohio. I need to get a copy for my family history library.

Featured the people you mention above,,,,I played on that session.

The money was not great ,,,but lots of Cotton candy and "balloons"

Chet, Homer & Jethroe,,Charlie Grean, Bucky Pizzerelli, Tony Mottola and me. Ray thinks
he is the only one famous here...I had my name up in lights years ago,,,,,everywhere you went ,,,my name was there,,,I used the
name "EXIT"...that was my "handle back then.

PS I blew up all the balloons for the recording,,,,now I can hear Ray say,,,,,,sure
you could,,,with all that "hot air" He's a wise guy Jussi,,he's always braggin about himself.

I made him famous,,and what do I get??? abuse. PS they wanted Jerry for the session,,,but he refused to "blow up the balloons",,,,,Hi Chuck,,,hows that FENDER of your's ??? edited for "hot air"

Who was the steel man on Elton Britt's early tunes? Like "Loreli" and others in that time period? By chance, WERE THEY ALL YOU? And what about Ernie Lee's "One Little Candle"? Was that per chance, YOU?

Break out of your self-imposed shell now Jody, and bring we Forumites up to speed. What are some other bonafide recordings on which you headlined?

Blowing up balloons....ain't all bad. Some really big stars had to work as waiters, house painters, drug store clerks and the like. If it enabled you to fulfill your dream of becoming a star....Wonderful!

Okay Jody, don't make us all wait. We really do want to know. And, YOU are a star in our eyes.

I just don't understand??????

If someone asks you a question about your musical accomplishments, and you take the time to reply, I don't think you are praising yourself or patting yourself on the back. You are simply answering a question. I look forward to your replies on the forum. They are very interesting and informative. But that's OK, I guess you read all this kind of nonesence before. But I would like to share something with you if I may.

My friend is a country singer and last week he was visiting his father whom at the time was playing records from his record collection. Now, his father was a singer during the 50s era, and styled after the great Hank Snow. While listening to the music he asked his father who played steel on one song. His father said, "Jody something, I can't remember his last name."
This morning he called me and asked if I had ever heard of this Jody character. I said,"Yes, Jody Carver. Ever so often he pops up on the forum".
My friend is an unbelieving character. He said, "Nah, not THE Jody guy, the steel player on dad's records? Those guys don't associate with just regular musicians"
I told him to come over. I had something to show him. He is sitting beside me as I type this note to you, and is flabbergasted that you take the time to associate with us lessers in the steel guitar community.
This is the first time my friend has took notice of any steel player, until he heard the sounds of your steel playing. To him it was always the lead man who got the brunt of the attention.
I thank you my friend for opening my buddy's ears.
So you see, it's us people out here who are giving you the praise and patting your back, not yourself. You have touched the ears and lives of many people, and you can add today's eposode to your many achievements. You made a NON steeler listen and respect the sound of our wonderfull instrument.

Some people are carpenters, mechanics, etc., but to be one of these professions and/or a steel player to boot, we should be proud, for we are truly unique.
Jody, make me proud by replying to us formites, for my friend doesn't believe you will. Make him a believer because he is one of your new fans and will be looking for songs you have recorded on. Tomorrow he will be connecting to the internet so he can take part in the forum.

And again, when your are playing on the stage and the audience claps, they are giving you praise for doing a good job. You don't stand up and pat your own back, we pat it for you. Jody, please don't take this in the wrong context. We want you, we need you and we respect you for who you are.
Respectfull yours
