| Us older players remember how great Walter plays especially some of his first work with Little Jimmy Dickens (We Could). I had the pleasure of hearing a part of the Walter Haynes "Back Again" album over at Garland Nash's new home where he played that song unlike the 54-56 on Jimmy's cut. In addition to "We Could" there are 9 others that are equally as good. I think Garland purchased the albun from Emmons Guitar Inc. Great job Walter!!! Even Tony Lane would be proud!!! |

Hey Barney, Speaking of Garland, what a wonderful event to hear his talent at Saluda. The man must have been born with a steel on his lap...his smooth approach and lively attack mesh to a great performance.
Sincerely, Bob |

| I remember Walter best for his early instrumentals, like "High Boots" and "Gear Jammin", and from his backup work on Patsy Cline's greatest recordings, like "Crazy", and "I Fall To Pieces". He's one of the true "pioneers of pedals", and deserves a lot more recognition. |

| I believe it was Ben Keith on "I Fall To Pieces." Walter did SO MUCH for country music! |

| hmmmm Hank Garland told me he was quite sure it was Pete Drake, and several others I have talked to said the same. Whoever it was, it was sweet and tasteful!! As busy the A players were at that time I realize it was easy to "lose track" of all the sessions they had played on. Not that this info is "earth shaking"...but can anyone shed more light on this mystery? |

For the "record"...
Haynes on "Crazy", and Keith on "I Fall To Pieces". I did not mean to slight Ben, he's one of the greats. |

Just thought I'd chime in since I saw both of these songs mentioned. Through shear coincidence, Jimmy Roy owns 2 steels I believe were the guitars used on "Crazy" and "I Fall to Pieces".
Wasn't "Crazy" Walter with his T-8 Bigsby, and "I Fall to Pieces" Ben with his D-8 Sho~Bud? If that's right Jimmy's got both of those guitars. He uses the Sho~Bud regularly and wants to get Walter's Bigsby together(it was modified at some point possibly byu Shot)with the same changes as the S~B and start using it. And everyone can rest assured they're in respectful hands!
BTW I heard some place that Walter's Bigsby was the prototype for the Sho~Buds. Is that true?[This message was edited by Mike Black on 29 May 2003 at 12:47 PM.] |

I did use the Bixby on Crazy and a good many of Patsy's recordings. Shot Jackson later put some Sho-Bud pedals on it for me. It was a great guitar, wish I still had it----

| Walter, did you play on JD's "Conscience". I had the 45 of it but got lost somewhere. I have tried everywhere to find it , its not on any of JD's albums. I rate that song and the steel break up there with We Could. |

Yes I did play steel on Jimmy Dickens recording of Conscience, we recorded that one in the late fifties I believe. Glad you liked the record, if you find one I'd like to have a copy-----

| Hi Dan. I agree with you. The entro on "Concience" is right up there with "We Could". It is incredible what Walter played with the pedals of that era. Walter Haynes, on of the greatest. Jody. [This message was edited by Jody Sanders on 31 May 2003 at 03:59 PM.] |

| Walter, Weren't you on the early "That Good Ole Nashville Music" programs? Also, Did you play on some sessions in about 1969 or 1970 with the duet Bill Wilbourne and Kathy Morrison? Thanks for all your great playing, Frank Rogers [This message was edited by frank rogers on 31 May 2003 at 09:51 PM.] |

| I was listening to an old Jean Sheppard recording that goes way back called "Thief in the Night" with some great fills and a beautiful solo that I'm pretty sure is Walter who was so far ahead of his time it's unbelieveable. From the tone I'm almost sure that it was his Bigsby. Absolutely GREAT! |

Pat,
According to the session logs that Harold Bradley gave to Charlie Dick on his late wife's recording sessions, it was Ben Kieth on "I Fall To Pieces". Walter Haynes played on alot of Patsy's recordings but so did Don Helms and Jimmy Day. The next time I talk to Charlie I'll ask him to give me some more information.
