OK the minute is up,,, I think( not sure) it was "Money Marbles & Chalk" But you guys are probably smarter than I ....and maybe you are right,,,but Chet did do that song by himself,,,,,I have the 78 speed recording.
Think it was his first vocal solo.
Did you guys know that Chet had a brother who was a guitarist and entertainer that did a show out of New york City,,,did you know his name?????? that is a TV show,,,,,,are you guys older than me???? no probably not ,,,,just smarter than me,,,, I like this kind of stuff,,,its better than "walkin the dogs,,,who sang Im walkin the Dogs????was it Webb Pierce????I dunno

When I arrived at the session....RCA had the usual side men there,,,but great guitar players,,,,Tony Mottola, Bucky Pizzerelli, Roy Horton on bass,,,Lil Horton on piano & organ and there was these two guys,,,one had a Gibson mandolin,,,the other a Stromberg guitar,,,these two fellows were on
the session as they were in town to do their own session at RCA that week.

I didnt know who they were,,,Tony Mottola said to me,,,Jody,,,,did you hear these guys play,??,,I said no,,, Tony explained that he got to the session early as he was doing the Peter Gunn sound track as he always played
"Danger" on that show,,,,he said he got there early and thought these two guys came out of the mountains,,,

The mandolin player was messing around during I guess was a warm up and the guitar player was sort of playing some basic open chords,,,,,Tony started fooling around with Bucky on "Lover Come back to me" when all at once ....all hell broke loose,,,the mandolin player started playing Jazz,,,,,the guitar player was doing jazz chord work,,,flatted 9th 13ths suspended chords etc,,,they looked at each other,,,and I looked as well,,,
They played like hell,,,,

Roy Horton said to me Jody ,,,I want you to meet Jethroe Burns and Homer Haynes...I said ,wow for the minute I thought you were those two corn balls who sing those pop tunes
in a country way,,,,Temptation etc,,,

They laughed out loud and said....Jody we are those two corn balls,,,,they thought that was really funny,,,I was embarrsed...

Homer said to me,,,how come you play so good for a city fella,, I said Im not a city fella
Im from Mississippi and I went to school here to lose my New York accent and that I really had that southern drawl,,,nice guys and great great musicians.

When I remember these and other stories I realize how old Iam getting,,,but I was just about 18 years old then.

I did many other dates with them at RCA in New York over the years,,,,,had enough for now,,??? I hope so Im tired,,I do one finger typing and it takes me forever,,,,thanks PS

You should have heard them play The William Tell Overture Unbeleivable......And I said this would be a "Quickie" bOb is after me
