Feast 2004--Music Tribute to Rusty
There are many things about Rusty that we all remember in a different way. I remember that he was kind and always there for you whenever you needed help. He was always loving and kind to my sons, each of them, and he always considered them his 'Cowboy Buddies'. He was always ready for playing music or telling stories of his travels (and the evils of lye).
Most of all...he loved his CoraBell.
We will miss you dearly Paw Paw.

My condolences to the family of Rusty. I met Rusty while playing for Tommy & Goldie Hill in 1952-53. I really enjoyed his Steel Guitar playing. I went to many of their Radio Shows, that's where I first heard Bandara Waltz that Easy wrote.
I wish that I knew them a lot better, but I was busy playing music myself at the time.
Steelin'ly, Jay Riley
