Just started to read Buddy's book. Very well written and a lot of information with a well constructed time line.

I peeked ahead to view the pictures and there are quite a few. Interesting to note that the picture Mike Slater posted on this discussion, shows Floyd Cramer being part of the Wagon Masters. This exact photo is in the Killen book and to my surprise, the Gentleman to Jim's immediate left was Buddy Killen.

So Buddy was a member of one of Jim's bands and I will have to read further to see how long he stayed, and where he went from there. But I know there was a close connection for both artists, thru out the following years.
