Little Jimmy Dickens -----John Henry

[Roger Shackelton]

Here's Little Jimmy Dickens Performing "John Henry" On One Of The Ganaway Films (Ca. 1955) I Believe That Is Walter Haynes Playing A Bigsby Steel Guitar.

Not sure who it is. Just know it's not Buddy Emmons.Man I loved to have heard him get a hold of this.

As I understand it. Buddy followed Walter Haynes. But this all happened before I was born. So it may be Walter. Or the staff player for that TV show. This is just a bump. I'm sure some of the old timers will know for sure. Thanks for sharing the clip.

Buddy joined Little Jimmy Dickens' band after Walter left.

This clip was on the same You Tube page as the one with the original topic of this post.

Buddy Emmons, no doubt in the clip Ron Funk Posted. Love his band uniform. A guest appearance no doubt.

I watched the Bird of Paradise video again. Buddy appears to be standing. But most interesting to me is the 64-ish WOOD neck Emmons.

Edit: Maybe some of you will enjoy Buddy's solo on this one as much as I did.

Thanks, Bobby, I sure did enjoy that rendition of "Foot of the Bed" by Little Jimmy Dickens and Buddy Emmons. Absolutely...

INSPIRING!

It was a big day at Sho-Bud when Buddy Emmons came in to visit Shot.

Yep. I believe Haynes was the staff Steel Player on these episodes, as a rule, though it appears that he shifted to Rhythm Guitar in the Dickens clip.

Foot of the Bed = Big E and Phil Baugh doing their Twin Thing.

Major Wow Factor !
