Got hooked on the sound of Hawaiian Style of playing in the late 30's. Took first lessons in l946 and I still can't play well enough to enjoy listening to myself.www.billchaviers.com

Gene Autry's show was simply called Melody Ranch. There is a 1940 Autry film that sort of tried to cash-in on the radio show's name, so he was over the airwaves and on the big screen with that name.

I honestly don't know who played steel with him after he returned from service.
(sorry to get off topic guys)
