That would be Jimmy Day.

[Roger Shackelton]

I Thought That It Might Be Jimmy Day, But Wasn't Too Sure. Does The Steel Guitar Sound Like A Bigsby Guitar?

[Dave Harmonson]

I'm guessing he was on a Sho~Bud. I think this from 1958. Was he playing Buds by then?

[Michael Robertson]

And then there is this version. Who's the steeler?

[Michael Weaver]

That is Buddy Emmons.

[Michael Robertson]

That is Buddy Emmons.

Thanks Michael, that’s all I needed… Now to go collect on my bet.

[Roger Shackelton]

I Believe The First SHO-BUDS Were Built In 1957. Don Warden Received The 1st One, Jimmy Day & Buddy Emmons Got 2 & 3, Al Udeen Received # 4. I Believe This Sequence Is Correct. ??

Hi Roger! Long time no see! You are right about the early Sho-Buds I received the 3rd double-neck in 57. Don Wardens was a single-neck, Also I had the opportunity to Meet Charlie Walker on a show in New Orleans in 69 when I was with Connie Smith, I was able to play "Pick Me Up" for him & had worked it up as Jimmy Day had recorded it with him! au
