I know someone who made a living playing bass in Nashville years ago and allegedly Jimmy Bryant came to town and stopped in at Roberts Western wear to jam with them. Jimmy had a Cadillac and on the side of it, I think it said, " The fastest Telecaster in the west or something like that.
Anyway he was very good and fast but he picked a night when Hank Garland was there. Hank was known for great country licks but was also a great Jazz player and according to my friend, Hank gave Jimmy a guitar lesson that night.
