Ken, Is this triple raise triple lower?

Ralph Mooney was a favorite of Ken Nelson also. Moon did many many sessions with Ken. One session that he was called for was for Wanda. Moon showed up , at Capital, with his homemade pedal steel. Coat hanger pulls and all. When Wanda saw that she went screaming to Ken that she was not going to recor...

Well, its that time of year that I sit around and get teary eyed, and yes I even slobber and boo hoo some. I was looking through old emails and I saw one from Jim and it caused me to reflect on this story. It actually happened. Maybe not exactly as I recollect but darned close. It goes like this; Th...

There just is no way of describing the feeling I get from reading words from my friends. It is just so uplifting. I thank you all for your kindness. Sure would be nice to see each of you. I know most everyone personally and it has been too long since we've seen each other. Those that I know thru the...

Well, amidst all of the deaths surrounding us today my son, Benny Jack, some called him Cowboy, was killed in a one car accident Sunday evening. He was returning from visiting family in Corpus Christi and hit a concrete abutment in a construction area. He was 60 years old. Just old enough to enjoy l...

RIP Jim Nelligan. I just received word That Jim passed today. He has been sick for some time and just couldn't recoup this time. Many of you will remember Jim as the Staff Photographer for the ISGC in St Louis. He was a great photographer but more that that he was a good person. He was fun to be aro...

I am sorry to hear this. I do remember their work. I lived just outside Tallahassee about 5 years and knew some of the people around there but time marches on and I forget.I had a ShoBud rebuilt by John Coop and it is immaculate. Couldn't be any better.Ricky Davis here in Austin does fine work also....

There used to be a couple of men in Tallahassee area who did excellant work. I think one was named Johnson. Not sure on name but I am sure some around there could tell you. Bill Stafford I'm sure would know. You won't get it done any better than there. fred

Well, this is a shocker too me. I did not know that he was ill, and perhaps he hasn't been. He was always so kind to Ralph Mooney and all of us in Moon's group. You could tell it was a natural thing for him to be kind. RIP, Stoney and Prayers for his family and loved ones.

Buck Owens did a lot of guitar work before he got hot singing. He was a good country picker.

The H is silent like the R in fish.

Thank you all for info!

I have a Sho Bud V. Pedal for $125. plus shipping. Pedal is real clean and not dinged up. I am not sure about Pot but I do think it was new and not used much since it was changed. I bought it after our house fire and have not begin to play yet. I may not get around to it as I have quite a " buc...

When did Leland pass? I had his email and lost contact when our home burned. We shared a lot of good times with our mutual friend Ralph Mooney. RIP Leland. Condolences to the family.

Moon did not play on Pretty World. I cannot recall the one that did but it was not Moon.

I can deliver this guitar to Dallas this weekend if anyone is interested. $2,000. Beautiful guitar!

Hey, Thanks, Mike! Bill T. are you inferring that I may be "over the hill"? I resemble that remark. Prolly getting an old Sho Bud amp and a 70 mdl Fender Twin. Along with the "red belly" 1965 Emmons.

I concede! I only listened last nite. This morning I watched. It surely sounds like pedals but I see it is not.

In saw J.B. on you tube today, playing on the Bobby Lord TV show playing a Fender w/pedals backing Connie Smith. Harold Bradley, Joe Zinc..., bass, and others. Jerry played a nice "pedal" turn around and intro on Once A Day.
