[Eb] [Ab] [Eb] [Ab]
[Eb] [Ab] As you know, everybody goes through the amateur status, you know, [F] and these [Bb] different people
would hold amateur shows and I'd go in or I'd win [Ab] a few, you'd lose a few, you know,
whatever.
But there was a guy [Eb] named Esco Hankins.
He was [Ab] kind of a local hero, country, as the name goes.
And he had a band and he was, he came from Knoxville, Tennessee.
Here she comes, look at her go, there she goes, [Eb] cheating the poor.
[Ab] I went up on one of his shows one time as a guest, as like an amateur thing.
And did that and every Saturday night he had a radio show on WLAP.
And it came on six o'clock until [Eb] seven.
And there was a live [Ab] audience in the studio.
So I guess it held 35 people, you know, which is pretty good for that time.
But anyway, that's where I started really.
And then he asked my mom and dad if it'd be all right if I'd go on some shows with them.
[Eb] So that started [Ab] me into that type of thing.
I mean, I was still in school, we didn't play that far away.
I could always get back home in time for school the next day.
And sometimes it was rough.
But anyway, they figured I was in good hands.
[Eb] And I was, you know, a [Ab] good bunch of guys.
But that's how really I got started.
And then I was on there one Saturday night, Jimmy Martin was driving through.
He had left Bill Monroe at the time, he was on his way to Middletown, Ohio.
And [Eb] he heard me on that [Ab] particular radio show.
I think, if I'm not mistaken, I went with him to Middletown.
I was out of school at the time.
I think I went with him to Middletown at that time and stayed a couple months.
That was my first [Eb] deal with Jimmy.
[Ab] And I remember he told me, he [Ab] said, if there ever comes a time that he could [C] use me again, you know, he would call.
Well, of course, you know how that is.
[E] But it did work out that way.
[Bb] In 1955, I went to [C] work with Mack [N] Wiseman.
A friend of mine that I had known previously, Benny Williams, was working with Mack.
Benny was playing fiddle and mandolin.
Luckily for me, I was [Eb] out of school at the time.
So Benny [C] called me and said, ask me if I'd be interested [Fm] in going to work with Mack for a [F] while.
I said, well, you know, I'm still in school, so I'd love to be back.
He said, well, you know, [Eb] that would be all right.
[Bb] [B] And so I said, well, sure.
I'd love that.
So in 1955, I hopped the bus and went to Richmond, Virginia.
I [F] worked with Mack about two and a [B] half years.
