Charlie,
Thanks. Great stuff. Roy Lanham is one of the great guitarists.

Thanks Mr. E,

I saw them in that Arkansas Traveler thread too. Impressive. Here's some background: http://www.debed.com/lanham/vntgui96.htm

and more tune-age:

[John Morton]

Roy Lanham and the Wipporwills were the house band for hundreds of Smiley Burnette shows. The show was mostly cornpone, but the band would play hot jazz standards of the day (~1950-1953), cramming them into 1 min. segments at crazy tempos.

Terrific, thanks for all the links. Jethro talked about Doug Dalton.
