Gene Vincent must have copped the hats after seeing this for the Blue Caps. Fantastic clip- it's so good to see more of Roy Lanham and the Whippoorwills as well
No, it's not Homer and Jethro, though it's an easy mistake. Gene, Doug and Roy all knew Homer and Jethro and were very like-minded in their approach to jazz on stringed instruments. Like H&J, Roy and the Whips spent their careers in the "country" world, despite being fine jazz players. Roy and Co. seldom left California, and H&J seldom left the Southeast and the Midwest, so their paths didn't cross much, but they were mutual fans. I need to ask Doug Green if his Stromberg might be this one.
@jazzdoggie How cool when you see your dad!I know its that way for me.My dads Carl Stewart which played with Hank Penny and a few others.

What happened to the Stomberg guitar? They were great rhythm jazz guitars.

I like how Doug and Roy start to take a solo at the same time. Nice recovery.

Got to jam with Roy Lanham a couple of times. What a great guy and a great guitar player. RIP Mr. Roy.

Sweet Georgia Brown's real name was Juanita Vastine, a perfectly fine name in itself. Perhaps someone thought it sounded too Mexican.
