Dreaming My Dreams
This always tears me up - such a touching song and Ralph touches it beautifully.

Fine example of "less is more". Perfect compliment to the song.Tim Fleming wrote:This always tears me up - such a touching song and Ralph touches it beautifully.

Larry, If you mean the black Super Pro, yes. It lives at Fred Jack's house, as a personal gift from Moon to Fred, as they wee the best of friends. I'll scrounge a couple of pics up if I can.

I got to help John Coop put some finishing touches on it, then tune it, Then John presented it to Ralph, then Ralph surprised us all and presented it to Fred as a personal gift. Those were some very happy times for all of us. This happened at the Dallas Steel Show 2006.

There's more story to the above pics: Moon invited me, my wife and Coop up to his motel room, as "there was a party goin' on". So, unknown to Moon, Coop had me bring a dvd player along. John Coop had recorded years ago an obscure video off of a small local tv station of a 1983-ish Waylon concert in London, UK. The camera man was fascinated with the steel guitar and feature alot of time to Moon. What's significant of all of this, is this: Moon had never before seen this footage---and you by now guessed it, at this concert Ralph was playing the black Super Pro we had just given him back rebuilt, which he had just gifted to Fred. Moon about fell off of his chair, and his eyes were so wide they pushed his hat back! I'll never forget the look on his face.

one of my favorite tunes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ixBsHSLSqAU
In 1983, Waylon and Ralph Mooney played a concert in Sweden, and Moon was playin' his Sho-Bud Super Pro then. There's a video clip of that show on YouTube where Waylon is singin' a song called "A Couple More Years" and, after the second verse and chorus, Waylon says, "Listen to the Moon" and Mooney plays a great steel solo. Waylon called Moon a great steel guitar player.

Waltz Me To Heaven
Somewhere on Tou Lube is a live version of this song and it is outstanding with Mr Mooney playing the best solo ever.It had a date in the title of 1977 if I remember correctly.Mr Fred Jack set up a phone conversation with me and Mr Mooney a few years back and it was a real pleasure to speak with one of my music heros.At one point I ask him about his tuning,I got very confused in a hurry as he went through the years of his tunings.I love the times I got to see Waylon and Ralph live.Sorry for the long post.
