- Source: "Wade moved to Nashville in 1954. The guitarist made the trip on a bus with $3, his suitcase, and two ham sandwiches. (He forgot his sandwiches on the bus.) He had telephone numbers for Don Helms and Jerry Rivers, musicians in Hank Williams’ band."

- @Thriley: Please provide a QPQ as soon as possible, as the nomination may be closed without further warning if one is not provided. This is a reminder that per a recent rule change, nominations should have had the QPQ at the time of the nomination, instead of up to a week afterwards.

Hi Thriley, review follows: article created from redirect on 2 September and exceeds minimum length; article is well written and cited inline throughout to what look to be reliable sources; I didn't pick up any issues with overly close paraphrasing in a spot check on sources I could access; a QPQ has been carried out; hook fact is interesting, mentioned in the article and checks out to source cited. Article has appeared at ITN but as a recent death so is still eligible for DYK. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 10:36, 10 September 2024 (UTC)
