Thread Name: The Louvin Brothers
Subject: RE: The Louvin Brothers
When Charlie was touring Europe in the 1990-ies together with Charles Whitstein as tenor, I had the pleasure, together with my wife, to be support act at one of those occasions.
What a sweet, genuine man Charlie was.
While not really murdering the songs we did, we weren't up to the level we're playing at today.
Yet he insisted on us joining him in the encore that eventually turned into a complete extra set.
Playing banjo and dobro for Charlie Louvin: Performing never was the same again after that.
I still remember him when we're doing 'My baby's gone'.....
