Is Gabby Hayes really Gabi Haas?
Strictly Commercial
The segue from Purple Haze to Sunshine of Your Love contains a few riffs
on the song's title: Isaac and Helen Hayes are both mentioned. Did
anybody ever figure out who Gabby Hayes was? If not, I may have
discovered a clue. In the 1960s a Canadian accordionist by the name of
Gabi Haas released a series of LPs; Ike (that is Ike, right?) may well
have encountered one, causing him to remember the name all those years
later.
Just a guess. And yes indeed, this is an intensely trivial question.

Sorry, that name is spelled with a y not an i: Gaby Haas.

And yes, I'm 100% certain this is who Ike was referring to.

No doubt about it.

No, I've seen several of his westerns, and he's both rugged and
very personable, smiling a lot especially around the ladies;
but by the time of The Big Sleep, he'd been around long enough to
learn how to ACT a little bit. Not much acting in the westerns,
just a yeoman job as hero.
Incidentally, Bob Steele was the son of Robert Bradbury, who
was a maker (director/writer/producer) of B Westerns,
and directed some of John Wayne's shot-in-2-days Four Star
Westerns of the early thirties.

I know someone with that same surname and have met or heard mention of
other people with it as well. Whenever the name was spoken it was done
so sounding like "Hoz" with the letter 'o' sounding like it does in
the word "odd" or the Kingdom of "Oz". But perhaps that is only common
to the dialect normally spoken in my Midwestern area of the USA.
Whenever I heard the name "Gabby Hayes" spoken, or anyone else with
that surname, it was always pronounced exactly like the common word
"haze", as in "Purple Haze" with which it is being rhymed.
And as the other respondents stated, it definitely refers to the
bearded American actor popular in "western" films and television.

I liked him in The Duke's " 'Neath Arizona Skies" (1934). Yakima Canutt was
also good as always.
