Anything by Curly Chalker is choice. The "Big Hits on Big Steel" record made me an instant fan of his playing style.

Dan Jones and The Standard Deviations band has some great jazz and pop tunes on YouTube... very well worth a look. |

I still have my Hillbilly Jazz double album on Flying Fish record label. Jernigan on Cherokee. Some great Vassar fiddle. I don't think they ever released a CD version. |

Don't think you can go wrong with either or both of these:
https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/lespaulbuddyemmonshoward
https://store.cdbaby.com/cd/jbryantbemmons
Note the personnel on the first one: Les Paul, Buddy Emmons, Howard Roberts, Tal Farlow, Curly Chalker, Herb Ellis, Doug Jernigan, Slam Stewart, Julian Tharpe, Bucky Pizzarelli, Reece Anderson & Louie Bellson.
Undeservedly obscure killer albums.

And we should include the great Juaquin Murphey who was ahead of his time. I have a solo album that Scotty or Tom Bradshaw put out many years ago, and I always find it inspiring. I think there is another solo album where he's playing on a Bigsby (if I remember correctly) that was built by forum member Chas Smith. I apologize for my limited knowledge of this, but Juaquin Murphey was a great jazz steel guitarist. _________________ www.susanalcorn.net

Mike Anderson:
I'm intrigued by the photo you posted showing Buddy E and Les Paul. Who's that holding the unusual red Gibson on Buddy's left?
It looks just like Ray Price's guitar - a custom L-5 in red with a round sound-hole. A rare bird indeed - could it have been Ray's guitar in that picture? _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.

Thanks, Jim. Price's guitar was probably a one-off, then. _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.

This was Gibson's production Howard Roberts model. |

Right, Ken. Ray Price' Gibson, though, was an L-5 with a custom top and predated the Howard Roberts model.
Similar at a glance, though. _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.

Looks like a "flower pot" inlay on the guitar in question. Would certainly fit in the L-5 line! |

Agreed. Fern inlay in your picture. Maybe Howard's guitar was exclusive to him as the signature artist. _________________ Roger Rettig - Emmons D10s, Quilter TT-12, B-bender Teles and old Martins.
