Biography
Elmer Lee "Buddy" Charleton (March 6, 1938 – January 25, 2011), was an American country musician and teacher. Known primarily for his work as a pedal steel guitarist in Ernest Tubb's Texas Troubadours band, Charleton played on numerous songs such as Waltz across Texas and instrumentals Cool it, Honey Fingers, Almost to Tulsa and Rhodes-Bud Boogie. When Buddy's touring career came to a close, he became involved with Billy Cooper's Music in Orange, VA working as a pedal steel instructor for many years. Buddy's teaching work greatly influenced the next generation of pedal steel guitarists.
