Jack Greene recorded on Decca around 1968 an album called There goes my everything. It had songs like: There goes my everything Almost persuaded Walking on New Grass A wound time can't erase Don't you ever get tired of hurting me etc Man this is a great record... it has a green cover with his portrait. Does anybody know who played steel on this record? Was it the same person on all cuts? Any info would be appreciated. Thanks, Bill |

Bill Mike Cass says it's Buddy Charlton on that album. Makes sense to me, as they were bandmates when it was released. BTW, check your email. ------------------ |

Bill, I don't claim to know for sure, but, here is what I think. Jack was recording for Decca-Owen Bradley was producing-Hal Rugg was doing The Wilburn Bros. shows and sessions,Loretta Lynn's sessions. Both acts were on Decca and Owen Bradley was the producer. It is a known fact that every producer has their own favorite group of "players". Now: Ernest Tubb also recorded for Decca, with Owen Bradley producing. But, I believe that he used The Troubadors, sometimes supplemented with A fiddle, or Owen(Moon) Bradley on piano. That would indicate, considering Ernest' helping hand in Jack's career, that it would be Buddy Charlton. So,...I'm guessin' Hal Rugg or Buddy. |

I'd say it was Buddy Charleton, too. ------------------ |

A friend made me a copy of this album years ago. He told me that it was Buddy Emmons. It seems like Walter Haynes once told me that Buddy played on it also. Walter was working closely with Owen Bradley at that time. |

Possibly was Charleton. Remember that Doug Jernigan and Ron Elliott also were steelmen for the Jolly Green Giant! |

Over a decade ago Nashville honored Pete Drake with a rare tribute ceremony for his contributions to the recording industry. I was asked by Harold Bradley to organize a steel guitar orchestra comprised of legendary players to perform snippets from some of the number 1's Pete played on. "There goes my Everything" was one of the snippets we played to honor Pete with. There was nothing sweeter or heartwrenching than watching Pete's eyes tear up in his wheelchair while he listened to Hughey, Rugg, Hicks, Crawford, Jernigan, Newman, Green, Myrick, Bill West, Basore, Day, & Sasser play beautifully Pete's licks. It was definately Pete. He never gets alot of credit for the soulfulness he had. He was certainly commercial to the bone. Paul |

Very nicely described Paul. It was kind of the very same feeling I had when I attended the reception for Curly Chalker at Local 257, organized by Johnny Cox and others, (BTW Johnny was instrumental, no pun intended  ) in having Curly return to Nashville. I was surrounded by the very same professional steel players you mentioned, and Buddy Spicher, who went out of his way to be friendly to a newcomer (ME). There was not a steel set up, but the "music" was there. Those events, the people associated with them, and the one Paul describes are never to be forgotten.

The night Paul is talking about when the city hotned Pet and aloud all of us to play is a night I will never forget. I'm glad I was a part of it. I agree that Pete DOES NOT get what he is due. Pete took the steel places it had never been. He was someone very special to me. When Pete passed away it was very hard for me. I LOVE YOU PETE!!! Larry Sasser |
