  3. Aren't there some fiddle tunes by this group on Time, as well? Hollis Pritchett played fiddle and steel, Gene Armstrong was a bassist. I believe both Cliff Durr and Howard Garrett played rhythm guitar. Hollis Pritchett was, I believe, married to Cliff Durr's sister. Regarding the record dedicated to Lloyd Garrett. He was Howard's brother and was also a musician. He was killed in the auto accident near Amarillo that also killed Leon Rusk in May 1950.
