Years ago I played several times on the "Tommy Hunter Show", and on one of the occasions got to meet Mac Wiseman. He had just had his stomach stapled and was showing the "guys" his scars! He was extremely friendly (as opposed to Tommy Hunter) and very encouraging. A gentleman indeed.

On other "Hunter" shows I met Merle Travis and Tammy Wynette. Both were equally nice, and once again very encouraging to the "local" act.

There are a lot of folks who think that the Monroe/Wiseman duets were simply the best. He also played for a time with Flatt and Scruggs, but supplemented his income for years as an "A and R" man with Decca.
