When I toured Japan with Kapu Kinimaka's Hula Halau, 1989, I met Yoshio Taura. He had a record shop at the Sogo department store, in Hiroshima, and had many steel guitar records.
We became good friends and I've stayed in his home several times since then.
You won't find a bigger real country music fan than Yoshio.
On his honeymoon, he and his wife, Kuzz, came to the US and visited, among other places, Nashville and Bakersfield.
Kuzz is his wife's nickname, named after the Bakersfield radio station, KUZZ.
He is a HUGE Hag fan and had 63 of his records,] at the time, and many Buck Owens records too.
He had a bar he named "El Paso". A huge Marty Robbins fan as well.
I let him know that Ralph had died and he sent me these pictures from that trip of Ralph Emory, with Charlie McCoy, and also, with a young Reba McEntire :
Last week, he sent me this "New Year Arrow" which brings good luck for the year:
RIP Ralph Emory.
