Thank you Mike for the great group picture showing Floyd Cramer with the wagon Masters in 1955. This shows at least a part of Floyd's early connection to Jim, and of course more contributions in studio sessions, in the following years. Also a big shout out to you on the pics you shared with us today. The bowling pic I have never seen before. Thank you !!

I did a quick search of Buddy Killen thru Larry's book. (Thank God I downloaded the index) Thru most of what I found, the book listed him as one of Jim's favorite song writers. He was also instrumental in supporting Jim in many recording sessions. I was unable to actually find if he ever was a band member with the Blue Boys, but I think he was. However, I could not find any dates. Hope this helps a bit and again if anyone can add or clarify more of Buddy Killen's career with Jim , please jump in.
