They also had another bass guitar player around 1980, named Linden "Tiny" Childers. He played a couple of years. When you look at the back of the "Singing In The Smokies LIVE" album, Tiny is the bass guitar player. If you remember, at this time, Jack had moved back out to baritone, and Myron had not yet picked up the bass. Tiny only played a year or so with the group. I'm not sure where he is now. I've heard nothing else about him.
