Jody asked me to thank all of you.

Please understand this is no refelection on those of you who did so. At this point only (1) has been a personal check and I advise you to make it a money order or bank check.

$18.00 dollars is not that hard on anyone who wants to listen to a piece of musical history. Please understand.

I am handling this project for Jody.
Thanks to all of you who helped Jody.

I appreciate it, and all of your well wishes as well

edited I meant to say the 9th Monday and posted Sunday my mistake.

Thanks ever so much.

Jody

Congratulations Jody!!

All have been mailed.

Good to see you back Dave..If it were not for
Liz and yourself, this would have NEVER become a reality and for that I thank you.

I started this web site several years ago, building on a smaller page dedicated to 'pop' steel guitar I had made. It could not have been made without picture and context contributions from Jody, and I thank him for sharing his stories for this tribute.

Johnny and Jody's music (and Augie and George!) deserves much more recognition, and it is with the greatest pleasure I welcome the news of the re-release on CD of this "Unique American Music Album Rarity"

To think a fateful yard sale find could set in motion a chain of events that after many turns and twists of fate and the contributions of so many result in this happy occasion.

Hot Club of America in Hi-Fi Forever!

:: My Tribute to the Hot Club of America in Hi-Fi

There were people on the fire escapes in upper Manhattan's west side and even the Alley cats went deaf. Sometimes the people threw quarters and change,they thought we were playing to earn money.

Everyone knows it was YOU who reunited the four of us and for that I am forever greatful to you and "Liz Of Course"

Thank You, all of you. but thank Dave and Liz
and dont forget his boy Chris for all they have done and thanks to Everett Cox a wonderful friend for his support and to my friend Kenny Foy and Kerry Wood and so on and on and on. I hope you enjoy the liner notes.

If Johnny and Augie and George were here,they would be as proud as can be. When I meet them..I'll clue them in.

Thanks again. The Red Coats are Coming.

Jody's playing on this additional disc is "Live" and amazing, and with a full CBS Television Studio Orchestra!

For the youngsters on the Forum, Arthur Godfrey was a Nationally known television star and musician who sponsored the "Prime Time" Lipton Talent Scout Show on CBS television. He was especially enamored with Hawaiian Music and often played a custom made Ukelele on his show, so when Jody Carver came along he couldn't say enough about Jody's talent and asked if he could play along with him on Jody's performance.

Jody was a master of execution of the steel guitar style of the era....A steeler named "Speedy" covered the west coast recording scene and a steeler named "Jody" covered the East Coast recording scene....if you didn't see the credits on recordings they played on by artists like Kay Star, Perry Como, etc, you wouldn't know which one was playing.

For some genuine steel guitar history, don't miss having this in your collection. Jody's sweet mother being interviewed by Godfrey while lauding her son Jody and the steel guitar is precious and alone is worth having this CD.

Don't let this one disappear into history without having your copy!

If so, can I reserve a copy of both CDs, in case my money order arrives late? I can send the money order out tomorrow. I'd hate to miss out on this, that Hot Club record is too good.

If anyone steel players are waffling on whether to order this CD, I can say that the HCOA record is inspiring. The playing is aggressive, tasteful, creative. Outstanding.

And here's even a NON-steeler's opinion (from http://showandtellmusic.com/pages/galleries/gallery_e/hotclub.html)...

"WOW. This is an amazing record. ...
Somebody please reissue this !"

I beleive this may tell it all. And to you
Smiley Roberts, I thank you for being Jody's friend and to Mr. Gene Jones thank you too.

Here it is........

Jody's Arthur Godfrey CD is a fun listen & Jody's performance on it is superb. Great tunes & impeccable delivery -- which comes as no surprise. What I particularly enjoyed about this 2nd CD is that you can hear the audience going kinda crazy as Jody repeatedly knocks their socks off. (Check out the audience reaction on "Caravan"! ) As Gene noted above, you can hear Jody's mother proudly introduce her son on the first track, which is touching. Also, it seems to me that, based on his various questions & commentary, Godfrey was rather intrigued with the "unique" instrument that Jody was playing -- an instrument that we Forumites know & love so well.

I highly recommend acquiring this CD of steel guitar history.

...and checking to see if my mail order has shown up yet. I think there have been some cross-border mail slow-downs up here.

My dad is with my mom at the hospital for the past three weeks. He is unable to reply to your questions. All orders have been filled.
