1954 is the year that THP (Town Hall Party) discovered the wonderful Collins Kids (Lorrie 12 & Larry 9). Joe Maphis taught young Larry how to professionally play the guitar, and I've come to really appreciate the incredible talent of this teen age Brother-Sister Rockabilly duo! Love THP and all the acts presented. Incredible music history. Country and Rockabilly on the same stage! Often while watching THP I wish I could just crawl thru the screen and go back to that time.

Two of the greats. Chet patterned his style after Merle Travis and Joe Maphis was called King of the Strings. The first to play a double neck Mosrite guitar.

No way! I just totally thought that Joe Maphis was Merle Travis, because his smile is EXACTLY the same as Travis! I noticed the name was wrong on the guitar from what I thought! That smile is MAGIC! These 2 seem to be twins......

I wish I knew what type of pickups both Travis & Maphis used in their guitars!!! They give off a sound that I haven't heard come out of a guitar in YEARS!!!
@U2BER2012

That high note sizzle sounds amazing, doesn't it? I do agree that those pickups have a lot to do with the sound but, the other factors are: the all tube amps and all tube studio sound equipment. ; which makes a world of difference.

Merle was real good but nothing like Joe. You notice Joe does not go out there and blow him away and make him look bad, like how musicians try to act now. Real musicians like these guys, play the song, no ego tripping or all that nonsense, These kind of awesome players just make the song sound good, that is what it is about.
