Here is a picture of Carl with E.T. on the right and I believe Stu Phillips in the middle. Stu was a Canadian Country Music star before coming to Nashville. Stu and his wife Aldona operate Long Hollow Winery in Goodlettsville, near Nashville. He is also an ordained Minister in the Episcopal Church and a member in good standing at the Grand Ole Opry. This picture was taken by the great Opry Photographer (for 32 years), Les Leverett and is used with his permission. Thank you Les, I appreciate that very much!
I am a lifelong Country Music fan, REAL Country Music, not the crap they call Country these days. In other words, I don;t like the rascal brats or shanasty twain or faith or sugarbland. Who I DO like is, Carl Butler and Pearl, Webb Pierce, Jack Greene, Hank Williams, Carl Smith, Goldie Hill, Lefty Frizzell, Dottie West, Connie Smith, Tammy, Loretta (except that thing she did with that rock singer), Jean Shepard, Jeannie Seely, Jan Howard (what a strong woman she is), Ferlin Husky, Leona Williams, Melba Montgomery, Charlie Louvin, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Dwight Yokum, Ernest Tubb, Dale Watson, Justin Tubb, Gene Watson, Earl Thomas Conley, T Graham Brown, T. G. Sheppard, Little Jimmy Dickens, Mel Tillis, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Johnny Rodriguez, Patsy Cline, Ernie Ashworth, Merle Travis, Helen Cornelius, Little Roy Wiggins, etc., etc., etc.
