Hey John, tell Merle, Bonnie and Fuzzy hi from Bob Taylor. I worked with him in Bakersfield in the early 60's at Bob's Lucky Spot.

I started the Rogues band back in 66 and we were at the Satin Doll before Mr Luckys....

Still Pickin' here in jacksonville Fl. Check our site www.jaxjam.com when you get to the site open the Cowboy Orchestra site you'll see my picture. I think I ;might have told you all of this stuff before?

Billy Williams and I are the only 2 Rogues left from the origanal group, he's still there and still does Lyle Lovettes stuff and aragements. Stan Oscarson and Dick Matheson are on the big bandstan in the sky!!!!

Bob-
When you mentioned Stan Oscarson, it brought back memories. I knew Stan, when he played at Mr.Lucky's and taught at Arizona Music Center in Glendale. I was working for Maricopa County at the time. I played that new (at that time) Fender PS -210 at the music store.
He was a good guy and very good Pedal Steel Player. I liked the tone he got on his ZB, he had it tuned to D9 instead of E9.He left us too early in life.....al
