Like most of your interviews, Joe, I wanted this one to keep on going. Ray is such a personable fellow. You two hit it off great. What a legend. An incredible life.
Thanks Free.... I appreciate it. To be honest most of these guys were my friend before the interview. You just don’t usually interview your friends like this. It would feel kinds weird unless you had a reason like needing it for the museum:) ......Best, Joe
I concur! I wish it ran another hour!
Holy crap! This guy is solid country gold. My mind is damn sure boggled.lol
Yet another golden interview Joe! The more that I watch these interviews the more I realize how amazingly talented all of those session players were back then. It's hard to imagine that Ray & the A-Team played on so many sessions. Thanks Joe for keeping the real music alive! I've said this before, you should write a book!
Hi Steve.... your support is much appreciated. It truly makes me happy to know you and others have enjoyed these interviews. I have started a book but it’s a coffee table book of Instruments that have been exhibited in the museum since 2006 when we opened. I try to tell the history of the instrument and the musician who owned it and how I acquired it for the museum. When the city took my original building by eminent domain to build the new convention center I hired a professional photographer, Royce, who has been doing work for me and my guitar shops for decades to come in and photograph very artfully all of the instruments as we took them from their exhibit cases to store until we could find a new location. We continued once we opened the new museum in 2013 photographing all new exhibits.I hope we have it ready this year. Thanks....Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thanks for the reply Joe! That's good to hear. Are you planning on marketing the book? If so, I'll buy the first signed copy! Be well & stay safe.....👍👍😉😉
Steve... yes we will offer it to the public. Thanks for asking.... best...Joe
Another winner! Thanks for sharing this bit of important American history
Thanks again 567.....Joe
❤Britt I hope you never get tired of me saying how wonderful your dad’s interviews are. We get to have them forevermore. This is gold all the way through.
SeeC, your comments always brighten my day, thank you as always.

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum ❤️
Slightly before my time but I was listening to those tunes early on in my life. Another great interview. Great info..3 guitars on Little Suzie..high strung..up a third, and an archtop..lush and thick. Hangin with Chet..in the thick of it. "You just played better, no punch ins" ...Great stuff! And knowledge that might otherwise be lost..
Thanks for watching...Joe
This is so great!!!!!!! Outstanding! !!!!!incredible! -------thank you so much....every second of this ....wonderful ....and history! !!!! Just great!
Thanks for watching George..........Joe
Joe , I've been so privileged to get to talk to Chet and Bob Moore on the phone . I actually got to meet Buddy Harmon in Jackson Tennessee and he gave me 2 sets of Johnny Rabb sticks . Nigel Olson & Jimmy Lee Keltner models . I started playing professionally in 82 but started drumming in 69. I'm 60 now and man what a life . The fellowship with some of the greatest in the world . A little Boy from Wertheim West Germany and got to play with most of my favorites. Ace Cannon, Eddie Bond, Narvel Felts , Ernie Ashworth, W.S. Holland and many more . God has truly been in my life and I would say yours too. Love your interviews . I hope you are well. God Bless You and thanks for everything you do.
777bigbird, thanks for sharing your story, I know my dad, Joe, would have loved to read it & would have had lots to say.
He would have also agreed that he loved his life and was so blessed, as are you.
Thank you for your kind words and supporting the channel, it would have meant so much to him and does to me too.
Hope you can visit the museum sometime.
Best,
Britt
Thank You Britt. My name is actually Bernd Adler : Stage name Ben*Ben Adler . Thank You for your kind words , I wished I had known your Dad . God Bless You and Yours . By the way , where is the museum located ?
Bernd, me too, but truly in a way you did, he was the same on YT as in real life. The museum is located at 401 Gay Street, Nashville TN, 1st level at the Historic Municipal Auditorium.
You can also visit musicianshalloffame.com for all info on on visiting.
Thanks again Ben!
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Hey Britt, sorry to bother you but was wondering if I bought one of your Jackets or Shirts could I get my name put on it ? Planning on trying to come up around the 1st of 2024 to check out the museum . Many thanks , sincerely Ben*Ben Adler
Hey Ben*Ben,
I’m sorry we don’t have a way to embroider anything at the museum.
Great news you will be visiting in 2024!
Thanks Joe!
Thanks Larry..................Joe
What a neat gentleman,,artist. Never knew who Ray Edenton was,and now i know. Ray has certainly lived a lot in his lifetime. Always try and picture what it would have been like back in this time frame,when Ray was getting started even doing mostly session work,,but traveling om two lanes,,and phones being a luxury to communicate on. Thanks for great interview Joe.
Thanks Barry..... Joe
Great interview Joe, Unbelievable the number of sessions he contributed too! He was around 78 at the time of this interview, if he retired in 1991 he was only 65! And he is still around at age 94! Nothing “ugly” about that! Thanks!💫
Thanks Larry.....Joe
Love Ray. Rest In Peace. 9 21 2022
Thanks Joe...great history..i could injoy being around this man everyday..you are exactly who was needed to bring out these amazing storys... Peace my friend💜🤴
Thank you too Joe... Best...Joe
Incredible interview, Joe!!! Ray is one of our musical heroes that so few musicians know about. I hope you have more of him recorded.
Thanks Donnie... there is more video left over. I’ll check it to see if we can pull another clip. Thanks...Joe
This is beyond tremendous. Thank you. What a rich deep history. I'm so glad you were able to capture this. If you are a guitar player and think playing rhythm on a studio recording is easy, you got another thing coming. Timing is essential. I'd love to know more about the background of the high strung gauges. I'd also be interested in the most copies that were stacked on any recording.
Terry....I can’t remember exactly what Ray did off the top of my head... I use to exhibit all of Ray’s guitars. I think he had a Fender King acoustic and replaced the wound D & G with unwound strings giving a mandolin like high pitch sound. Don’t hold me to it but I think that’s it.... Best...Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Thanks, Joe. I had simply used the equivalent of the high strings of a 12-string, not knowing any better. Keep these great videos coming!
Hi Joe, As always another great video thanks for sharing. It's always a great pleasure to listen to your guests tell about the famous stars they have played with. Joe you always seem to know the right questions to ask. You are the Best of the best my friend. Stay well and safe out their.
Thomas.... that’s extremely kind of you to say...Sincerely, Joe
Thanks for sharing this I enjoyed Rays Virginia Accent
Thanks Again Joe! What marvelous stories about the great American Music we all take for granted!
Thank you for watching John...Joe
Fascinating!
Took me about an hour to get through this interview as I had to pause to go listen to the songs mentioned. Amazing stuff. Thank You Joe.
Thanks as always mVm....Joe
I did the same. I'm 61 years old with a decently deep knowledge of rock and blues but I had no clue about almost all the references Ray made to songs and musicians. Like you, I paused the video many times to listen to the tunes he was referring to.
Same here! Sometimes the stories are so compelling that you want to hear the music NOW :)
I just played that Jan Howard song and you can hear it. Thanks for a great interview.
Thanks for sharing Bob.... Joe
What a great interview! Ray Edenton played with all the greats! What great memories to have! Great team of musicians.
Thanks for watching Patti....Joe
Terrific, once again. Thank you.
Thanks again Ed..Joe
Thanks for all these great interviews Joe.
Thanks for watching them Fitz....Joe
Amazing.
Thanks for watching Ron.....Joe
Joe another amazing interview and as I've said before no one does more than you to keep the memory of these unsung hero's alive. Thanks
Thanks again Michael.....Joe
What a great legend!
Good lord, Joe. This was freaking fantastic. What a gold mine! I'da stayed for supper.
Thank you Johnny.... I really appreciate it...Joe
Love these old fellows sharing their life's history Many Thanks Joe this is fantastic
Thanks Nelly............Joe
Haha how darn fun that was, I could of listened to you two for hours reminiscing. He just loved telling his stories & I loved listening to him... your the best interviewer there is, thank you again!
Thanks Jr...Joe
Awesome interview! Thank you!
Thanks EB....Joe
Well done.
Thanks MT....Joe
Man, oh Man, Joe, you always pull out the greatest interviews of all these Nashville cats that alotta folks don't know about - Ray Edenton...yeah Baby....that legendary and oh so important, rhythm guitar. I'd never seen Ray interviewed before. Love his stories and, of course, your stellar interview questions. This is all why the Musicians Hall of Fame (and esp. the Backstage Vault Series) are so important. Certainly as important as the Country Music HOF, but maybe even more so. Keep it up!
Thanks Danny....Joe
Joe, what a treasure trove of real life experiences from Ray. I loved the story on the intro of Rose Garden!! One of my favorite songs from 1970! Tremendous session work with many of the greats!! One of the best interviews Joe! And you've had many! Keep it up?! Thank you!!
Thanks again Jose’.... Joe
Awesome
this channel is f'ing amazing
Hey Don, my dad, Joe, passed on September 28th… but I know he would have appreciate your comment & support of the channel.
Hope you can visit the museum sometime.
Best,

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum thanks Joe,
I teach band in New Hampshire. If there are any educational resources related to Musicianss Hall of Fame please let me know.
Best to you sir!!!!
Jim
Hi Jim... we don’t have anything other than school tours. I partnered with the Grammy’s back in 2015 for them to build a interactive gallery to go along with all of the museum’s historic artifacts. I’ve been working on a coffee table book of museum exhibitions and instruments since 2010. Hopefully will be available this year sometime. Best....Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum wow! Thank you for what you do!
Thank you too Jim.... our kids are the future!! Joe
Excellent ☮️
Loved this interview! He’s seen it all and tells a great story! Thank you again!!!
Thanks again for watching Jim....Joe
This is the best kind of history. Thanks gents!
Thanks for watching 2001....Joe
Another fascinating interview, Joe. I love hearing these session musicians talk about the behind the scenes of so many famous sessions. I always learn something new about some song I've heard for years.
Thanks Deke......Joe
Thank you Joe, these interviews are Gold.
Thanks David....Joe
Such an inspirational interview. It got me to pick with my guitar and practice some more.
Glad you enjoyed it David....Joe
Love these videos. Thanks for posting them.
Thank you for watching them too Ran......Joe
Ray was wong about one thing: The D-28 and D-18 are the same size. The "D" designates the size, ""Dreadnaught." The D-28 is rosewood; the D-18 is mahogany. The D-28 has a neck volute (diamond); the D-18 doesn't. The D-28 has white binding, the D-18 has black binding.
wong or wight
Yes, the D-18 has mahogny sides, while the D-28 is rosewood. I own a D-28. The pre WWII Martins are usually considered the best ones.
Great interview! The stories are priceless. Thanks, Joe
Thanks Larry...Joe
Ray's reference to the Jan Howard single at 23:10, "Evil on Your Mind" in which he says a bit of a flub was made because he didn't expect her to have an extra bit of lyric in a certain place...you can actually hear what he's referring to when listening to that song! I've heard very, very little of the music he speaks of, and have very little recognition of most of the players involved, so this video was a big education. Thanks, Joe!
You’re welcome Anthony... Thanks for watching...Joe
1st comment on this segment of this beloved amazing and historic series.
Thanks mVm.......Joe
I think I heard once that this talented fine man played on stuff from Hank Sr.------------------- Beach Boys just blows my mind.... Wow ! Hell it took my dumb ass a week to get The Byrds. My Back Pages down back in the day.. Thanks Joe..
Hi blue.... yes Ray did record with the Beach Boys here in Nashville but it wasn’t released to my knowledge. He played on Neil Youngs “Comes A Time”
album. Thanks again .............Joe
He is my grand dad first cousin both lived in mineral va sounds just like my granddad
Awesome absolutely awesome Joe. Is there more?
Hi John.... yes I’ve got more but I need to make sure it’s worth your time to watch. If I find more good info we will put another clip soon. Thanks for supporting us... Joe
10,000 sessions! woah. I love hearing they way Joe's voice gave away his brain trying to process that number....
Thanks again for watching Tom.... my brain gives way more often than I care to admit:) best........Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseumUnless you hear it first hand, it doesn't seem possible for musician to do 10,000 sessions with only two guitars.
I had to listen to that part of the interview twice to be sure I heard that correctly.
Hi Tom... I think he did have another Martin in the 50’s that was badly damaged in a car wreck that he sold when he got the other one from Hank Jr. Best........Joe
He says later in the interview that it was 15,000. Amazing.
Bob Moore recorded in Chet’s den in Belle Mead.
Did these guy's make a good living doing the sessions like that? It's interesting and fun to listen to the stories how these guy's made great hits with all the different star's.
Hi again Tommy... yes they did well. Some better than others just like in any profession... Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum I have a nephew that is a very good player. He has cut a few songs. He writes his own music. He is very popular around a few different states. But he has never had any hits or breaks. His name is Scott Bandy. He has a few things on UA-cam. Please check him out. See what you think. And please give me your honest thoughts about him. I would approach it very much.
I believe you have the Ernie Newton stand up bass. If I am correct. Or was Lightnings Bass. Just imagine touring with Hank Sr. Wow
I have Lightin’s stand up basses. Thanks for watching...Joe
R.I.P. Don Everly
Another fascinating interview. A gentle correction regarding the Martin guitar: all D models have the same dimensions, but the 18 has different woods and simpler ornamentation than the 28. nativeground.com/d-18-d-28-what-it-all-means-by-bob-smakula/
Thanks for sharing...Joe
You want storys my grand father had better storys they loved each other but my grand dad was one bad ass dude with stuff he. Did in his life you can make a movie but Ray Q he to was a bad ass with music hands down
It is hard to believe people could be session musicians playing just rythym guitar, nowdays they expect you you to be able to do everything.
Just about all everybody's story goes through Shreveport at some point....
It seems like that doesn’t it Tom.....Joe
I thought Ray might have mentioned the duets he did with Marty Robbins....

Thanks for watching Ed........Joe
Joe is the king of "neat stories".
Thank you Buzz......Joe
Hey Joe. I seem to recall seeing a picture or a video of a female rhythm guitarist on a Nashville studio session from the 60s I think. Do you have any idea who that might have been? And if so, do you have any info on her? Maybe do a show about her. I'm fascinated by the studio musicians of the 50s, 60s, and 70s.
Velma Smith is her name TUGP..... We inducted her in 2014. She was older and had health problems that kept me from having a regular conversation/interview with her. My camera man Jay got a audio interview for us but it’s most likely not going to be shared due to her speech. Corky O’Dell is another female session player we inducted along with Barbara Mandrell. Corky play down he early Duane Eddy sessions but not here in Nashville. Thanks...Joe
@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Oh that's great! At least I have a name to look into. I knew if anyone would know, you would. Thank you. 🙏
Velma Smith?
Yes
