    Hi Joe. Another great video. I never tire of hearing the stories about the making of the classic recordings. It's sad that most of the A-team are gone now, and the recent passing of Bob Moore is another great one gone. Keep them coming Joe.

    These videos are a treasure. My friend Randy Hayes sent me his complete personal DVD collection of his years with Keith Whitley. What a collection it is. When I watch it I'm both sad and glad. When I watch your vault series of legends past, I feel the same way Joe. I'm very glad you had the vision back then to create these. I applaud you sir. 👏

      Thanks G. Yes I miss Keith too. I wrote at Tree publishing at the same time Keith was signed there too. We got together once to try and write one but it never was recorded. You knew when Keith was in the building because there would always be thunderous laughter because he was imitating Flat and Scruggs. Best, Joe

    I met Harold in my first year in Nashville (1998) when we were eating at neighboring tables at the now defunct Music Row restaurant, Sammy B's, a block from his office where he was President of the Nashville Musicians Union Local 257. Our eyes met and he nodded and said hello, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered him during a meal. I told him I was new in town and that I moved to Nashville to help out because I'd heard there was a shortage of guitar players. He laughed and welcomed me to town and wished me success. Very kind man. Years later, I was booked to do a demo session for a songwriter at Bradley's Barn in Mt. Juliet that was engineered by Owen Bradley's son. At the end of the session, he asked "You wanna see something?" I knew it was gonna be good. He broke out Harold's sunburst Telecaster that he played on Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree".

    Joe...thank you thank you thank you. I first became aware of the brothers in an Guitar Player magazine...mid sixties I believe. In it they talked about guitars and gear and recording and it was just incredibly interesting. I wish I still had that issue. IMO, that era of Guitar Player was the best.
    Now onto the other interview you have with this master.

    It seems like there was a certain purity to the music that pre-dated the mid-60s. Once the British Invasion exploded on the scene in '64, the innocence was eclipsed by the social engineering of the Boomer generation, and the undermining of American culture.
    Today we are deep down the rabbit hole, and are assaulted by the grossness of hip-hop and trash rock. Bring back Patsy Cline!!

    • @MusiciansHallofFameMuseum
      @MusiciansHallofFameMuseum  2 года назад +1

      Hi Matt…. I probably called it that by mistake. It’s just a higher pitched bass like Glen Campbell played on Wichita Lineman. Mr.Bradley muted it for tic-tac. Thanks for watching…Joe

      @musicianshalloffamemuseum you were right the first time! The original instruments Danelectro made were 6 string basses, tuned E to E, an octave below a guitar. It was only much later that people started playing baritone guitars, tuned to A or B. Sometimes people retune the old danelectros that way, but it’s not what they were meant for. It’s really a bass, not a baritone.

    Is there anyone left who can tell me when Karlson Speakers were used for monitoring and mixdown by the Bradleys?
    Here are pictures. At some point they were replaced I think with Altec VOT
