  1. Some I don't see mentioned:

    - Junior Huskey: played bass for the boys in the early 50s. He's the bass player on all the surviving 1953 radio transcripts.
    - Onie Wheeler: played bass and sang some of his songs with the band in 1956.
    - Richard "Curly" Lambert: played rhythm guitar and sang tenor around 1959.
    - Monroe Fields: played mandolin and sang tenor in the mid 60s.

    There might be more, but these are on top of my head right now...hope this helps.
