When My Marilyn and myself were married I thought of what a beautiful song this was and she agreed
On the very day February 20 1954 Marilyn was mine
ALL MINE

and then Francis Albert performed this beautiful as it was the day My Marilyn was Mine all Mine...........

Tony Mottola Les Paul Herb Ellis Tal Farlowe Barney Kessell and many others.....................Bob never let me out of his shop without an order, he didn't really need anything as his shop was loaded with Fender, but he always wanted to give me an order regardless This was a Great store and he and his late Dad Sal treated their customers as family this today is not the rule Mom and pop and those days are forever gone It was and still is my favorite shop and these Memories will Forever Live in My HEART Bill God Bless you and call me I'd love to see you and we can talk about those good days.......Your always friend Jody- BTW Bob is on my book as the last Fender Guitar as he gave me a Stratocaster to give to a young man who was in his final hours, Marilyn was there as a patient I stayed in the room she was I tried to sleep as Nurse Nancy had a recliner for me did I sleep No It was in Northern Westchester Hospital Mount Kisco New York It was the Last Guitar I delivered and Bob gave it to me and didn't want me to pay for it, I took out my wallet he said Jody you took care of me as my favorite Fender salesman this one is my gift to you..what a wonderful Human being he was, he will always be in my heart along with his lovely wife Mara and his Dad Sal. The Last Fender Guitar will Happen and God Bless my dear friend Bob Thank you Bill. call me and we can relive those wonderful years together... Your Forever friend,

Any news regarding the book Jody ?

Jody Carver · Post by **Jody Carver** » 12 Oct 2014 7:21 pm

Baz nothing is new...Georege Lake is wrong and shouldn'tbe posting, When I start the thread Bobby Lee closes it, besides Sandy will work with me on the book I posted the True story of The Last Fender Guitar, if you feel up to it, post and says Jody I'd like to know the truth and only you know that.

I'll leave that up to you, it will help me
