Calls
Destry they are mine, been making Arkansas style calls for about 14 years. Was encourged to get into call making by the late Howard Amaden ( Hambone Calls) late Alvin Taylor ( Taylor Made Calls) and late Larry Hickerson ( Johnny Marsh Calls) , seems like all my old mentors are gone now except for Howard Harlan ( Heavy Duty Calls).

I used to blow a Tennessee call, was the best single reed I ever owned. Made by a guy named Vance Hudgeons (spelling?). I finally wore it out and never could find him to try and get another.
I knew Alvin Taylor slightly, fantastic calls but I never could make one work for me. I'm mostly a double reed man. Harlan made a good hunting call for a little while, short barrel bois d'arc wood. I had one but a friend was so enamored with it I gave it to him. I was going to buy another but he'd quit making the style when I got around to asking. I lost a lot of respect for Harlan when he fought so hard to try and keep the Glodo name from being associated with Southern Illinois. He wanted Victor Glodo to have been dropped straight from Heaven onto Reelfoot Lake and wouldn't hear of it being otherwise. Nash Buckingham said he was originally from Southern Illinois in his duck call story and it was proven with census records. Harlan even had some unsigned letter he showed around that was supposedly from a relative of Victor that said he never lived in Illinois. Ridiculous....... Destry

calls
If I remember right Glodo lived for sometime on a boat, he may have lived in several states. Don't have a clue but Howard has devoted a ton of time into the world of callmakers. You would like a bois d'arc Hambone call ( or one of mine) , bois d'arc (mock orange or hedge apple around here) is my favorite wood to get real ducky. I too like the short barrel call, just easier to control for me. Make it down my way (Franklin Tn) would be honored to make you one.

I think Victor Glodo lived on a houseboat for a bit after he moved to Reelfoot. His brother, father, and a bunch of other relatives stayed in Southern Illinois and continued to make calls into the late 60's.
I've only ever blown one real Hambone call, was a nice sounding piece for sure. I get down Tennessee way on a shooting venture once in awhile. Maybe we can get together, sounds like fun. Destry
