Deford Bailey was one of the charter members of the Grand Ole Opry and although he recorded a few songs in 1928, he was mostly heard only in person, He was elected into the Country Music Hall of Fame. Deford influenced hamonica players like fellow Hall of Famer Charlie McCoy. Listen to this master musician perform effortlessly a fox chase, including calls and yelps to the dogs to make you feel you are right in the action. This is taken from The Grand Ole Opry in 1967.
