Sidemen-professional musicians hired to perform with groups of
which they are not regular members-are essential to bands and
orchestras, but most remain anonymous for their entire lives. A few
music aficionados might know their names, and sometimes a sideman
becomes a star for compositions or for exceptional performances.
Even so, few ever achieve fame or an identity separate from the
organizations with whom they perform. My Best to You ...captures a
glimpse of Kasper "Stranger" Malone, a musician struggling to
survive in the early days of recorded music. In his own words,
Malone documents, names, places, and personalities of that era. He
played in every musical genre, from early recorded country music
with Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers to silent movie orchestras,
from live radio to jazz recordings with Benny Goodman, Pee Wee
Hunt, and Jack Teagarden. He played with symphony orchestras in San
Francisco, Denver, Tucson, and Rome, Georgia, finally ending his
long career full circle playing folk and bluegrass in North
Georgia. With a Founder's Award from the Atlanta Country Music Hall
of Fame, a Guinness World Records acknowledgement of his
unprecedented seventy-seven year recording history, and a recently
released documentary of his life, in his old age he found he had
achieved an uncomfortable fame. Presented here is his history and
biography, edited by his daughter, Patricia Poos and filled with
fascinating details of a long and historic career.
