'Redd and Pee Wee were very generous of their time to befriend a young musician from Berry Field in late 1943 & 1944, and let me warm up with them in the rehearsal room on the stage of The Ryman Auditorium under the stairs.

I was in Nashville only a few months, but I learned a lot from the pros, and it put me in a position to entertain all over the world. I can't say enough thanks!' (Bob Bryan (The Old Cowboy)/Ft. Worth,TX)
