At least on my radio they are. Sorry I did'nt think to post this sooner. On fridays before the friday nite opry they play an oncore preformance. As I'm listening tonight ET hosted a portion that featured Tex Ritter,Stringbean, Tom Paul& bros. Bill Anderson w/ Jimmy Gately on fiddle & Sonny James. I can almost close my eyes & be there. If you really want to take a trip back to REAL country music, this a must to check out. It airs fridays from 7 to 7:30. www.wsmonline.com

Billy:

Yeah, I heard it. Nostalgia at its best. Buddy Charleton & Leon Rhodes with E.T., don't get no better than that. Not sure when Leon left E.T., but wouldn't you say what we heard last night had to be circa '65-'66? Are you the Billy Johnson who plays/played for Billy Walker? If you are, I really like your playing.
