I have the Billy Hew Len recording on a CD rerelease. I'd love to have some of the others. Are any of them available on CD?

The Kabra LP is in my collection somewhere. I always loved the look of the guitar even before I was able to fully appreciate the music!

I got the Alkire LP to someone who wanted it. Musically very good. That guy was boss.

That first shot of Michael and Billy has his brother, Buddy on guitar (also a steeler), and I hope somebody can fill in the blanks for the bassist, and the grey bearded chap in a following stage shot.

Earl Hooker never get's any attention and has next to no recorded output on CD, unless somebody could please post an informed correction. I'd love to hear some live material from him. Sadly overlooked!

And, those are great color pix of Lonnie (no clue who he is) and Freddie. The shot with him and Earl is very cool too.

Great contributions, Michael!

There are quite a few Earl Hooker compilations on CD currently.

Reverend Lonnie Farris was a gospel steel guitarist, but not in the style of the Sacred Steel players.

Thanks for sharing all the photos, Michael!
