    Default Delmore Brothers

    I have been a huge fan of Alton And Rabon Delmore but one question has been nagging me for years, did Rabon ever take a solo or add fills to their songs? It seems that there are no live recordings of their performances that I can find, so does anyone here have any info?

    Thanks,

    Charley

    Charley, thanks for that link. I too am a big Delmore Bros. fan, ever since I found, by chance, a King/Starday compilation, in my local library, when I was in high school in '74(along with a Doug Sahm record). Huge influence on my musical development and playing. That link is a great read, full of biographical and musical info. Not that I play tenor, just six-string.
    Just curious, do you own any Epiphone archtop tenors?

    Hey Dave, I do not own an Epiphone arch top tenor, never even seen one. I do have a 1932 National Triolian tenor that rocks tho.
