@ronschmeck Hmmm....that is a good question, since he moved to Arizona, not sure......prolly if you contact the Sacramento Western Swing Society, they could help.....or send me a private message, I have some old phone numbers that may still work......
@ronschmeck I agree completely! My favorite WS singers are Tommy Duncan, Redd Stewart and Truitt Cunningham! Truitt has a great story about both him and Tommy Duncan getting each others voices confused when they heard themselves on the radio!
The steel man is Bobby Koefer, and I think the piano player is Skeeter Elkin. Both of them played with the Texas Playboys in the 1950s. Both of them played on the "soundies" that Bob Wills recorded in 1951, known as the Snader Transcriptions.
How can I contact Truitt? I used to have him and his band on my TVshow Easy Livin Country Ron Schmeck

Bobby Koefer is a nut! LOVE to watch him play what has to be the oldest most beat up Fender steel guitar surviving. Thanks for posting.

Great rhythm section - Are they some of the original TX Playboys? they got that old feel smack down - that's really hard to do !!
