This week's "Country Weekly" (dated Jan 11, 2000) has a page dedicated to the memory of country artists who died in 1999. They were nice enough to say a few words about Jimmy Day and Roy Wiggins, and included these pictures:

Jimmy's name on Little Roy's picture, Randy Howard's name on Jimmy's picture - OH MY!

Here's the text about our heros: <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>In January, virtuoso pedal steel guitarist Jimmy Day died of heart failure. The popular Day played on recording sessions with Ray Price, Willie Nelson and Charlie Parker, and also served a long stint in Jim Reeves' band. ...

In August, Ivan "Little Roy" Wiggins, longtime steel guitarist for Eddy Arnold, passed away. ...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE>Did Jimmy really record with Charlie Parker? I'd like to hear that!

Its not just the Country Weekly.I have seen very little info.on Roy Wiggins on the forum.I have ask questions about Roy and two people have helped.I am young but I will take Little Roy Wiggins any day over any steel player.Maybe the guy who wrote asking who was little Roy Wiggins sayed it all on the forum.

Perhaps they misinterpreted "Jamming with Byrd" ?

I got a reply back to my letter that they had heard about the errors.
