I would appreciate your help on rounding up some photos of Ralph.
I need a good quality digital picture of Moon playing a Fender. I've seen a couple posted here on the forum before that would work nicely. My favorite would be the one that was taken from the front of a tall stage as if the camera man was kneeling. Second choice would be one taken with Wynn in the foreground. Anything you have, please attach it to an email and send it to steelfodder@aol.com
Oh, if you have any good ones, no matter what period of his life they were taken, please send them. I may be able to use some of those, also.
Thank! |

| Mike, If you can locate a copy of the Wynn Stewart box set(Bear Family) the liner notes have a great photo of Mooney onstage behind his Fender 1000 at the Nashville Nevada club, Las Vegas circa 1960. |

| Yes, that's one of the one's I'm looking for. I once had that boxed set. A scan from a printed image will leave scan lines and I'm trying to avoid that, if possible. Thanks, though. |

Mike,
Chuck Peters last name was all that was clipped, I looked at the mag and all of the picture is there. There is some really good info in the old Steel Guitarist magazines that Tom Bradshaw published in 1980.I think b0b still has them for sale.

A Great example of Moon's Dobro playing can be found on "Because You Asked Me To". Very unique style, as you would expect.
Thanks for these pics. Please keep them coming. |

Mike,
Good guess! However, it'd be a shame to ruin a perfectly good piece of canvas with a mug like Moon's. |

Here is a pic I took about 7 years ago in Bay City, Tx. Jim Murphy was playing for Asleep At The Wheel and Moon was there visiting Fred Jack, I think

Drew H., those are two fantastic photos! That's gotta be the old Nashville Nevada club, I think I recognize that bandstand. And Wynn Stewart looked like a high school kid there. Wow!

Herb:
I think that pic with Ralph and Wynn has been doctored, with a younger Wynn superimposed on the Mooney photo:
Here is my copy of it, which I think is from 1969, when Wynn would have been 35 and Ralph 41. Ralph looks 41, but Wynn looks well short of 35 to me in Drew's photo.
Here is Drew's pic. Note that you can't see all of Ralph's left hand:
Here is a pic of Ralph and Wynn together. Wynn looks the same age as in Drew's pic, but Ralph looks noticeably older. I am guessing this is from about 1960. Wynn was born in 1934 and Ralph in 1928.
What'cha think? I don't know how the pic got altered, but that is what it looks like to me. |

This makes me really sad... the fact that Wynn Stewart would only be 74 years old today had he lived. He could still have a viable career. Ray Price is 83. Johnny Bush is 73 and still going strong, though he's somewhat of a health nut.
Wynn was such a great singer, songwriter, and interpreter of songs. A very under-appreciated talent, IMHO.
Another great singer from that era, Gene O'Quinn, also passed away at too early an age.
