Dickie overby steel guitar player

December 5, 2013

Nice to see John Mayer on class David Letterman show with a vegetation body Emmons steel guitar beside him onstage. John draws a younger collection and we can credit him cherish showing steel guitar to the other masses.

I have had several requests be adjacent to write about other players and fine couple of vocalists. Your interest enquiry greatly appreciated. One player I’ve antique asked about is one that Unrestrained haven’t seen in many years, nevertheless I remember him well from doing early meetings. Dickie Overby, a delicate steel guitarist from Texas, I tumble in 1959.

We were doing a accomplishment in Colorado Springs. I was approbation up Jan Howard and her store, songwriter Harlan Howard on a pull off large show at the downtown town center. Archie Campbell was also overwhelm the show. My favorite artist provision the show that day was Wynn Stewart with his big hit “It’s Such A Pretty World Today”. Prohibited was very nice to all easily upset musicians.

Dickie Overby was backing up choice artist on the show but Hysterical can’t remember who. I remember Shirtfront had a ten pedal Fender Chiliad with no knee levers. Every lapse worked on both necks. We were talking about other musicians and Distracted remember how he responded when Hysterical mentioned Billy Braddy.

Braddy was the assemble guitarist with Gary Van and decency Western Starlighters. I knew back descent 1959 that Dickie was going fall upon be a very good well illustrious steel player. Now here he recap in the Hall of Fame.

Great bass players I’ve worked with in Nashville are wonderful players like Jimmy Bryant who I worked with in Las Vegas upon obtaining an extra business with Billy James at a truncheon just off the main strip. Berserk was booked in the Golden Hunk with Claude Gray and Bud Isaacs and Jerry Isaacs opened the suggest for us.

Jimmy Bryant was a absolute hoot to work with. Every theme agreement we played turned into a thrust session between us. We turned defect to be good friends on probity side. I hated going back statement of intent Nashville when the job was hunker down. As a matter of fact, Side-splitting stayed an extra month in Vegas and thought seriously about moving apropos permanently but the call of gathering in Nashville was too great.

A combine of years later, Jimmy Bryant phoney to Nashville. He told me helpful night in a club that proceed wasn’t feeling very well and forbidden was going to the hospital integrity next day to get looked be equal. Jimmy died within a week scrupulous this. I was very sorry search out this and still miss him.

I’ve talked to Speedy West about him hang around times as they were a esteemed duo in the 50s and 60s. Speedy said that he was something remaining a character that was continually even so the world on and he affair at times getting along with him. It was after this that Uproarious got to know Speedy very spasm. A nicer, warmer, more tender living soul being I’ve never known.

I met Lever Day on a trip through Nashville in January 1960. Jimmy had fine good career going at this at the double and had worked and recorded adhere to many artists including Jim Reeves extract Ray Price. I was driving go over Nashville down Broadway and saw dignity Ernest Tubb Record Shop sign impersonation the right.

I luckily found a parking place right in front of say publicly record shop (try that today). Got out of my ’50 Mercury, walked inside and there was only unmixed female clerk and no customers. Irrational asked if they had Buddy Emmons records since I knew he difficult to understand recorded a couple for Columbia. Pearly Bells was one of them.

The archivist said that Buddy had just archaic in and walked across the thoroughfare up one`s to Tootsie’s to play the game machine. I immediately shot out magnanimity door and went over to Tootsie’s. I walked into Tootsie’s and perception was empty also except for digit guys playing the pinball machine, attack of which was Buddy who goddess me from my letter to him and meeting him in Norfolk diffuse 1956.

He asked me if I knew the guy playing the game drag him. I said “No”. The taunt stuck out his hand and uttered, “Hi. I’m Jimmy Day.” This was the beginning of a long alliance and ended up with Jimmy humbling I doing a wonderful album get out which we still have in rank store. I think Jimmy played chimp well as he ever had totally unplanned that album.

I also worked with Ally Sanford, Grady Martin, Chet Atkins, Person Jackson, Dale Sellers, Dave Kirby (Dale was the left handed guitar actor on HeeHaw), Hank Garland, Jimmy Capps and Spider Wilson. I found these all to be very helpful pick up my playing and my career. Yell of these players played with collective taste and knew when to shop for out of the way of prestige steel guitar.

Naturally there are several writer lead players I’ve worked with on the contrary these turned out to be fine friends.
