Charley Pride

them while it was honky-tonk? I was playing in some big old honky-tonk, yeah.

Actually, I was working for Chardon, which is Charlie Pride's company.

They were booking us, and some of the guys would come around.

I'd get to know them, and that's how I kind of Gradually stuck my toe in the business, and then there we went.

And they represented that, you know, even even with all the flaws and everything they did.

A

theory I always had, you know, Prince never got the world title, the NWA world title.

And he made the statement, all my kids are going to get that world title.

And there was all these pictures of all the different luminaries all over the walls and all that.

And there was this book in there about all these different country artists, like from Waylon Jennings to Dolly Parton, to Charlie Pride, to Willie Nelson, and Lloyd Green was in there and he's a pedal steel player.

And he's probably one of the finest pedal steel players I ever heard.

and so when i was reading about him i thought you know i'm gonna go get one of these things so after the record was done and we were waiting for um oh you know what i was after the record was done and after the tour was done that's when i picked it up and uh and i just would shed in my studio with some books because i'm still sort of old school like that so i had old pedal steel books from the 60s and a couple records and i just started doing it so i'm still i'm still shitty at it but i'm getting better

This is going to be a real drug to mule, though.

All right, for Mule Shoe, this is for you from Charlie Pride.

The snakes, they were crawling that night right there at Will Rogers Airport, right? We'll be right back.

We are back, Steel Man and Thune, here on this Tuesday, presented by the Carl Stone Senior Independent Living Community, 501 East Robinson and Norman, great amenities.

Yeah I didn't show on that throw

the ball took off in tennis has had one hit in six times up in the series that had only two eleven for the year but hit twenty six homers and led the American League in walks how many hits but he gets on Charlie Pride great Western singer who sang the national anthem.

He was a former minor league baseball player and he stepped in the batting cage and I grabbed Reggie Jackson bat and took his car out there a couple of swings popped it up and they ran him out of there.

That's Ray Posse on deck.

We started today's show with Johnny Cash and Folsom Prison Blues, recorded live at Folsom Prison.

Next was Charley Pride and Kissin' Angel Good Morning.

And we just heard Patsy Cline and Walkin' After Midnight.

So we have time for a few more before the first break.

Yeah, if you can remember.

Well, I would say, okay, I saw Charlie Pride and Dave and Sugar in Charlottetown.

And I

think the next one would have been, well, when I was 13, of course, I said we're down the Opry, so we saw those folks.

Mel Tillis had a theater here.

I've done my show in that theater in the lobby before on Saturdays.

And she was on stage, and she brought out Rosene, who Rosene Pride was married to Charlie Pride.

And so she brought her out, and this gentleman by the name of Neil McCoy and Pam Tillis and Rosene invited Neil McCoy to be the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry a couple of weeks ago.

I can't imagine.

Charlie Pride, good Lord, all that good stuff.

But anyway.

I can't
