| WAYNE BURDICK.......from the southern Calif. area back in the early 1950's.....WHERE ARE YOU NOW? I have a photo of Wayne behind his triple neck Bigsby with just three pedals, it would appear. He was playing here in Portland with Dickie Phillips decades ago. |

| Ray ....would that be crossed-eyed Dick Phillups who later went into the ministry and who also played pretty decent thumb style guitar? |

That is the same Dick Phillips.Dick and myself worked a segment on the Godfrey show back in 56.
Dick also was the winner of the Godfrey show
back then. He was also a Fender endorser as well. Great player and a unique way of playing due to a physical disabilty.
He then went on to work with Tex Williams.
I have lost track of Wayne Burdick another fine musician and a good friend of Paul Bigsby. |

I heard Wayne still lives in CA, but has retired from music long ago.
Hey Ray, sure would like to see that photo you got!!!  |

Wow Ray, I haven't heard of Wayne Burdick for almost 40 years. The last time I heard him play was one Sunday on the Squeakin'Deacon Show at the South Gate Eagles Hall which must have been in around 63 or '64. He was a good player for sure. Have a good 'un.........Jerry

It has been a long time since I heard his name as well. I'm pretty sure I heard it mentioned when he was doing USO recordings for overseas GI radio. I think he was with Tex Williams when I heard those shows in Korea. I also recall being very impressed with his playing as well.
Regards, Paul |
