Sho-Bud Sho-Case

Anybody Remember Jack Boles on late night WSM radio? If I remember right he came on after Ralph Emery. Had the pleasure of workin' with him a while back. Matter of fact Tommy Minniear (Steel man in Tennessee Tradition Band, we put together 6 years ago) worked the road with him. A great Picker and entertainer, and a walkin' encyclopedia when it comes to Steel Guitar

Sure do remember, I used to make a point to tune the Sho-Bud Showcase in all the time, and this was long before I began playing steel!

Doyle. Sure do! It used to come on around 12 or 12:30 at night. Late 70's I believe. It would fade in and out way down here in middle Florida. Too bad it's still not on. Martin.

I remember it very well. In fact, I did that show a couple of times with Jack Boles back in the early 70's. It was a great radio show for sure!

Hey, put me down here too !! I always looked forward to hearing it coming home from playing jobs. It made the miles slip away and it also kept me awake because I didn't want to miss anything !!

Best Regards, Paul

Hey thanks guys for the come backs, I just became a member and kind of new on this computer. I'll tell Tommy about this and I'm sure he will drop Jack a line. I think Tommy's computer is down at the time but will have it goin' real shortly.

Doyle:

I remember the show. I may be mistaken, but I was thinking it came on right after the Ernest Tubb Record Shop.

Anyway, it was a fine program - and I didn't play steel guitar at that time. I believe the theme song was "Redwing" - but don't know who the steeler was who played it.

Thanks for re-kindling the memory of the show, I hadn't thought of it for a long time.

I believe that was Buddy Emmons' version of Redwing that was used as the theme song.

Jack also emceed several of the steel guitar shows out at the Ramada during Fanfare week back in the 70s and worked for Shot Jackson at the Sho-Bud store in downtown Nashville for a time.

HEY SON!,,,I remember back around 1972 I bought Jack's 1958 Telecaster while he was working at Sho-Bud and three years later while working the Opry, had it stolen. It's been about five years since I last saw him. Last I heard, he and his wife Becky were still performing.

Talk to ya' later son.

Yup, heard a lot of good steel on there. That's the first place I heard Tommy White too! Let's see that must'a been about 25 years ago, and Tommy was about 15, and I was...uhh...never mind.

Talkin' about the theme song, who used Rose City Chimes for their theme at about that same time? Was it Ralph Emery? Doyle

Tim Rowley · Post by **Tim Rowley** » 16 Oct 2001 8:58 pm

Yes, it was Ralph Emery. Bobby Garrett's recording of course.

I have an old E9 study course put out by Sho-Bud. It's a book and a 33LP record. Jack is the narrator on the record and I believe PF Sr. is the steel player on the course.

Somewhere in the early 70s Ray Emmett and myself did the show. Free strings for weeks!!

I remember Jack well. he used to work at the Sho-Bud store on lower Broadway. I did his radio show one time. He had a great sense of humour and a really powerful evangelist type voice that bellowed. When he said the word "Son", you could hear it all over the store. A great guy!
