As a kid in Odessa TX, every Saturday I watched his TV show, the "Hub Jamboree", sponsored by the Hub Furniture Store across the street from the Ector County Court House (Red and his band also performed in some commercials for the store). I got to meet him once, when he played a Christmas party for Ector County employees at the Ector County Sheriff's Posse Barn, just out of town on the Andrews Highway. I was 10 years old, had been playing guitar for a couple of years and during the band's break, I introduced myself to him and asked him for a job...he didn't hire me, but he and the band were very nice and indulged me for a few minutes. I remember meeting band member Pascal Williams that night, and I think Dusty Rhodes had left Red's band at that time. That was the extent of my experience with Red. I remember later when he got the gig with Faron Young, everyone I knew in Odessa who wore a cowboy hat was proud of him for getting back into the Big Time. Around 2005 I was visiting with my friend Jody Nix, and he made a reference to the fancy "Red Hayes" boots I was wearing. I would love to hear anything else about Red that y'all are willing to share. Thanks.

I was a little girl around my Daddy Bill Myrick and his friends Red Hayes & brother Leon Hayes in Odessa when they would be rehearsing and shows at the ECTOR COUNTY/FLOYD GWIN PARK AUDITORIUM & other places. I heard discussions about two things mentioned. Jack Rhodes did not help Red write "SATISFIED MIND.". He bought into it with, I believe, $500. The "UFO" encounter had nothing to do with it but it DID happen. Red & brother Leon were driving back to Odessa from a gig and rather like that odd encounter in the pick up truck in "CLOSE ENCOUNTERS" they had a similar experience as they drove that empty open road on a hot summer night with their windows rolled down and each brother with an arm up on the open window and each came away with a different arm that appeared sunburned. If memory serves me, it was a green light from up above that engulfed their car.

Jack may have never put pen to paper, he may have helped with the tune or cleaning up the meter. We will never know. I do know that Red was admired by Jack and his wife Loretta. He was always spoken of very highly and with much sentiment. I have come across some negativity about Jack around the net by two or three of the old timers that worked with him and were close to making it but never did. They blame him for this or that. We will never know how it all went down. All I'm saying is Jack Rhodes is in the Country Music Songwriters Hall of Fame and The Rockabilly Hall of Fame and he didn't get there without talent and working hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520743085834461738.post-35800774374838585282011-10-28T03:02:39.119-05:002011-10-28T03:02:39.119-05:00So good to see info on Big Red out there.

He also collaborated with others, and sometimes simply purchased songs, or was given part-ownership in exchange for promoting it or trying to get it recorded. This was indeed common practice back in the '40s and '50s. But it is usually misrepresented by modern music journalists because they don't understand the context.ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536547131562840293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520743085834461738.post-82852802595194409722010-05-24T20:30:02.724-05:002010-05-24T20:30:02.724-05:00Re: the "throwaway" comment, I meant fro...Re: the "throwaway" comment, I meant from Red Hayes' perspective, not ours.ABhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15536547131562840293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7520743085834461738.post-33861451519052285902010-05-24T13:13:05.097-05:002010-05-24T13:13:05.097-05:00Thank you Andrew for another interesting story.Thank you Andrew for another interesting story.P.
