Thanks for reposting this Kenny... brings back a lot of Sacramneto memories! Was this on Lloyd Hickey's weekly show?

Kenny Yates · Post by **Kenny Yates** » 28 Mar 2010 5:54 pm

This one is from the Easy Livin Country show. I alway thought this song should be the theme song for the western movie channels

Good Job! We need to get together sometimes!

Kenny Yates · Post by **Kenny Yates** » 2 Apr 2010 5:07 am

Thanks for the reply. I have posted quiet a few others from the old Easy Livin Country TV show. I had a jam going once a month, but just recently I called it off for a month or so when I start it back up I'll let you know and we can get together and pick a little. Are you still traveling with the group or playing in Church.

Reggie Duncan · Post by **Reggie Duncan** » 2 Apr 2010 5:29 am

The quartet retired after 11 years of traveling. I am playing 2 or 3 times a month with various artists and I am the drummer at church, believe it or not.

Kenny Yates · Post by **Kenny Yates** » 7 Apr 2010 6:11 am

You could have your own Church band if you could play all the instruments at once, first Steel in Church then Bass in Church now drums in church...As long as we are in Church we can't go too far wrong.

What a surprise. I used to work with Danny Edwards. What a shock to find him in your video. When was this made? Danny and I traveled around a little with the Nashville Plus band back in the early 1970's. His wife Brenda sang with us also. Small, small world.

Kenny Yates · Post by **Kenny Yates** » 18 Apr 2010 4:10 am

I'm not absolutely certain of the dates but I'm pretty sure that Danny Joined us in the early eigthies, good player and nice guy. Brenda sang on the TV show a few times and on Personal appearances most of the time. Another good singer. I was sent these tapes a while back and most of this stuff I am seeing for the first time. Most of this stuff I remember doing but it is sure different seeing it from the other side of the camera.
We were usually taping more shows when the shows were shown so we hardly ever saw them. If you look closely you can see how tired and sleepy everyone, at least the regulars, are. These were usually taped early Saturdays after about three hours sleep, another reason for not remembering (g).

Thanks, Kenny. Where were these done? I wish there was still more of this kind of thing going on. Thanks again. Les

Kenny Yates · Post by **Kenny Yates** » 19 Apr 2010 3:57 am

Most were taped in the KCRA Channel 3 Studios, but sometimes we taped on Location, Like the state fair and we did four shows on the campus of Notre Dame, before a Coachmen RV rally. Coachmen Motor homes were our main sponsor. I hated taping outside, seems like it was really windy every time we did an outside taping.
The shows were mostly taped in Sacramento but were shown around the country in syndication. I don't know how many stations we were on but several.
