That is a sharp RIckenbacker guitar that Gordon Terry is playing. Terry, Rick Nelson, and Jim Reeves played Rickenbackers at one time (Nelson's and Reeves' were acoustics), but it wasn't until 1964 when the Rickenbacker took off courtesy of John Lennon, and later, George Harrison with his 12-string and Paul McCartney with the bass.
Hey "Jack Grider" - thanks for that post, man. Naw, slim chance we'll get down ta Arkansaw, but we should cause Pocahontas native, the late Billy Riley, was a big fan of ours and endorsed us boys (Starline). Came back on this vid cause Slappin' Billy B of our band is thinkin' we outta learn it & add to our play list - I AGREE! I mean how many bands have a Gordon Terry tune in their rep?
Gordon is some relative waaaaay down the line. Both my Momma's people were Terrys. My mom is from Cortland Alabama and she always talked about how very talented Gordon was. Blessing to you Mitzi!!
Unbelievable! He is so great! This is my favourite song now! It has been for weeks now! I have seen his other stuff with June Carter too, and its AWESOME! What a talent!
Yeá he did with vocal backup from none others than the Jordanaires - I will have to look through my CD collection and then I will return. If you are still interested then please response here or to me directly.
@dkfelix Gordon Terry was my dad. I'm the youngest of his two daughters, Mitzi. I would love to see anything else that you might have on him. It means a lot to myself and my family to be able to see him. God Bless!
@mterrycochran Your father was an amazing man. He also played a song with George Jones on Grand Ole Opry called White Lightning using Luther Perkins' guitar.
@mterrycochran Mitzi - My name is Danny Coane of The Starline Rhythm Boys up in VT. I tried commenting here, but it didn't take. What I was trying to put in was that your dad was one of the most underrated country stars-an incredible fiddler (with Monroe & other country star) and a fine guitar man, plus great looking and a beautiful bariton voice. I wish the A&R guys had pitched him better material for his solo career-if they had he would have been a big star, but I love him for what he did
@starboydc Danny! Love y'all man! do you ever get down to Arkansas? I'm in Little Rock and my girl and I would love to see the Starline Rhythm Boys live!
@mterrycochran i am so glad i found these videos i am from decatur and i took care of your grandmother Stella Terry at Summerford for a year. She was a pleasure to take care of and may God bless you and your wonderful family!
This man was really really talented. I wish they had some of his other stuff on here.We knew him and his family real well when he lived in the old cash home.Anyone have The Battle of JC or Something about a little blind girl.Does anyone know if he is still living.
