Dear Mike,
"I'm My Own Grandpa" is on an import from BACM Records in England called Homer & Jethro Volume 3.
One of the photos Homer's younger son gave me is a very telling shot taken backstage before a performance: it's the Louvin Brothers, Jethro, and a very young Jerry Reed, all watching Homer play guitar. Homer's son is working on a documentary, and he got to interview Jerry shortly before Jerry passed away last year. (Jerry was also on the Live At Vanderbilt U. album and the subject of one of the jokes: "I buy his records. If he gives 'em to me, I'm obligated.")
Thanks for the welcome!
PS - speaking of the Louvins, today (July 7th) is Charlie's 82nd birthday! Happy birthday Charlie!
