George Jones on old Jimmy Dean show
I really enjoy watching the old Jimmy Dean Shows on RFDtv. Sometimes Chet Atkins is on there but in the show I'm watching tonight, George Jones is performing. They showed his guitarist doing a solo. He looked like Hank garland to me. I know Hank Garland wasn't a finger picker but he is associated with Chet through records. Was Hank Garland ever associated with George Jones? I'd like to know as I revere great Nashville guitarists such as Hank Garland. Thanks.

Re: George Jones on old Jimmy Dean show
I'm ashamed to say I know Hank Garland's name very well, but am not familiar with his recordings Same with Joe Maphis. Actually, though, I take that back. I did have a couple Joe Maphis records back in the vinyl days. Really liked his brilliant picking and bright sound.
Wish I knew more about Hank.

"Sugarfoot Rag" is Hank's song. His career ended way too soon considering how long he lived after his car accident!

could be Hank was available for that show. Guys like Hank booked as much as they could. It's what makes professional musician-ing so illusionary. Sooner or later the phone stops ringing so in the meantime you book for the money and the exposure

That should do it.

I should have held on to that Jimmy Dean show and taken an image of the guitarist I thought was Hank Garland. Maybe next time.
