Does anyone remember the name of the intro tune (and artists) for the mid-60's Ralph Emery late night talk show on WSM? It featured a guitar and steel and was overdubbed by a NASA voice announcing a launch, "T minus 10, T minus 9, . . . " etc) Thanks, Mike |

"Rose City Chimes" by Bobby Garrett? [This message was edited by Larry Miller on 16 July 2003 at 03:17 PM.] |

Larry: My gut reaction is that you are correct.....but something in the back of my head, where ever that may be, is saying Pete Drake and I can't recall the song either and it's well known. But then I thought Weldon Myrick had done Tears In Heaven so what do I know...... Regards, Paul |

Bobby Garrett's "Rose City Chimes" was the answer I received from WSM when I wrote them in 1966. I could never find the recording until recently - but unfortunately, it is not the tune I am looking for. Mike |

quote: Paul... Could you be thinking of "For Pete's Sake" by Pete? I believe that was the theme song used on the Opry for a number of years. George ------------------ |

No, George. It wasn't FPS because I used to play that and I'd recall it right away. It was, for lack of a better word, more cosmopolitan or progressive than that. Maybe Reggie Duncan will read this and ask Lloyd Green if he recalls what Pete played on that show...  Regards, Paul |

The theme song on Ralph's show was "RhodesBud Boogie", featuring Buddy Charleton and Leon Rhodes. |

Rose City Chimes is on an Ernest Tubb LP called "Live at the Midnite Jamboree" In talking with Buddy a few years back, we talked about that LP in detail... It was NOT in fact a LIVE album..it was all studio and had dubbed in applause and Introductions.. I guess it ws like an early "concept album"... |

Ralph Emery always opened his show with Bobby Garrett's "Rose City Chimes." Ralph was a fan of Bobby Garrett and loved the song. I don't ever recall hearing RhodesBud's Boogie played as an intro to Ralph Emery's show on WSM but I guess it could have. "For Pete's Sake" opened the Opry for years until someone deemed it either too country or a steel guitar instrumental and took it off. |
