The white scratchy pop noise of vinyl on turntable, is as much music to my ears as Jerry Byrd... Thanks for the upload!

Jerry saved the Hawaiian guitar when he moved to Hawaii in the 1970's. He was THE MASTER of his instrument. He brought back home to Hawaii the instrument that they lost to all that exotica nonsense! Nashville's loss was Hawaii's gain. Thank God he made the move. Nashville never appreciated him anyway. Anything the pedal steel could do Jerry could do and more!

@@roybodden9243 With all respect I look at it differently. IF Jerry would have used pedals, it would have been THE most beautiful music ever heard. But his stubborn ways caused him to NOT to use pedals just for spite. So he was his own enemy and there was NO reason for this. Just pure stubbornest. Jerry and I were friends, and I will go to my grave saying he was THE greatest lapsteel there will EVER be. But I will also take to my grave that IF he had gone to pedals, he would have been THE greatest steel player that will have ever been. As it is that title went to Buddy Emmons. For what it's worth.

pat dee Pat thanks, for your reply to my statement. Yes, I thoroughly agree with you in your statement about Buddy Emmons, but that doesn't change my opinion about Jerry Byrd. But I think we both can agree that Jerry saved the steel guitar in Hawaii.

Pat, we have another thing in common, and most importantly, we are both born again Christians. I was also close friends of Ernie Lee and "Browny" Reynolds. They and Jerry started out together in 1939 as a team and joined 'The Renfro Valley Barndance". of course Jerry and they parted company shortly there after and, as the old saying goes, "the rest is history! I remember the recording of the Billy Hill song "Have you ever been lonely" by Ernest Tubb, when Ernest said "ah, Billy Bird now", followed by Ah, Jerry Byrd now"! I had a program in Tampa from 1979-1991 which I named "Country Music Memories" on WMNF from 1979-1991, WTAN in Clearwater from 1983-1987 and WRFA in Largo from 1987-1991. I then returned to my homeland or should I say home islands "The Cayman Islands, when I worked at Radio Cayman from 1991-2003 when I retired. My programs consisted of C/W music 1920's-mid 1950's, but still included music thereafter, that fitted within that time frame. God bless you.

Here's Pat Dee again! Talking to another musician! Wow, love to read these discussions.........I have a question for both Pat and Roy. It appears that a lot of musicians were not "fond" of the totally self-created "exotica" sounds being created in the US during the boom for that type of music after the war. Is this a correct assumption? It seemed to be derided as somehow pandering to the "latest fad" - I personally think a lot of great music came out of that genre, some wonderful compositions and really unique sounds that created fun moods of dark jungles and moonlit romance. I ask because of Roy calling it "exotica nonsense." Also, the book Hawaiian Beatnik mentions this form of music also in a sort of derisive manner............ do tell...............and thanks!!

Nates I am so sorry I did not see your question. Yes your assessment is true after the war. For before the war we had basically "popular" and "hillbilly" music along with classical and a far different way of living. There were a myriad of other types of music but the three was what made America when it comes to music. But... Two major things I believe caused the change in music and America after the war: 1. Women going into the work field. 2. Rock and Roll. These two things this nation (and much of the world) had never experienced since creation. Thus the women began to have their ways with life standards and the younger folks got their way when it came to music. In essence it changed the entire world in how we think, do and talk and entertain music. Some good, mostly bad. Sad indeed. I believe that Jesus is going to destroy America soon (for the bad) and "As America goes, so goes the world". Sad but true. Again I am sorry I did not see your question dear person. May Jesus bless you and yours always.

@@MrPatdeeee Thank you for your reply. I am deeply interested in music of all genres, and find the "exotica" of Martin Denny and Les Baxter, among others, to be a very unique niche among genres and one specifically related to war-time experiences over-seas. Take care, Nate

@@NatesShangriLa Exotica was (is) a niche offshoot of jazz. Les Baxter invented it with his 1951 album Ritual of the Savage. It was essentially a Latin shuffle embellished to evoke the illusion of strange, foreign lands. It didn't really reference the musical styles of those lands in a substantive way--it was all an illusion. Baxter was fond of musical experimentation. Savage, and the follow-up, Tamboo! sold well but weren't earth-shaking. In '57 Martin Denny stripped down Baxter's ornate orchestral score for a small combo and hit the jackpot with his cover of "Quiet Village." For a few years every record company in the country rushed to cash in on the exotica craze, and by the early 60s it had mostly faded. Realize, too, that jazz was fragmenting at this time and entering a rapid decline. Rockabilly had a brief surge of popularity, as did calypso in this period. Instrumental surf bands were hit factories as well, and it was unclear if rock and roll was just a musical fad as well. When the Beatles launched the British Invasion in '64, however, most of these other forms of music were destined for extinction. There is, of course, much more nuance to it than my brief sketch above, but you get the gist of it. Hawaiian music, for its part, had surges of popularity in the teens, '30s and again in the run-up to Hawaiian statehood. Hawaii Calls was one of the longest running radio programs in U.S. history.

@@jaymeblaschke4727 Thanks so much; yes, it was definitely a "niche" off-shoot of the jazz genre, and I can see now that it had a limited appeal, it doesn't sound like it was hugely popular, although I know Denny had that hit with Quiet Village. Appreciate your input! And yes, the Beatles really shook-up the musical landscape - I just wish that the older RnB bands that they emulated were given as much publicity and appreciation! I have some originals of Baxter's Tamboo and others - love his lush arrangements, and the artwork is great on the covers......

Why is the sound so poor. NOT talking about vinyl scratces. It is like they recorded it with a mic a 100 yds away; instead of line to line connection. Oh well.

It's how the producer saw it. Lots of reverb for some psycho mood...but you may be right. It does sound like the room mic was recorded and they missed the close mic entirely.
