johnblitweiler Posted August 3, 2015 Report Share Posted August 3, 2015 A Mishawaka lad, like the Candoli brothers. I preferred Emmons's steel-guitar version of Pachelbel's Canon to Neville Mariner's orchestra version. Jim, that Ray Price "Night Life" is a beauty.

danasgoodstuff Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 (edited) The 8 instrumentals Ray Price's Cherokee Cowboys issued on Western Strings which feature Emmons among other stellar players are well worth seeking out, as is his (Buddy's) tribute to Bob Wills even if Buddy wasn't all that as a singer. Kinda the Les Paul of sit-down guitar. Edited August 10, 2015 by danasgoodstuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
