Does anyone know this guy? Mack Sullivan

Tor Arve Baroy · From: Norway

I was reading in a book about the Norwegian settlement in Brooklyn in the 50ies and 60ies, my parents lived the in that aera.

And, I spotted a Steelguitar Wink

The sign on the wall reads: ..and his Western swing band.
And the Fender steel reads: Mack Sullivan. Dont know if thats the band leader or the Steel player.

Anyone here knows maybe?

Mack sure has a lot of cheat-sheets on his steel! Shocked

John Swain · From: Winchester, Va

Mack played straight steel, violin and regular guitar. He was the band leader and owned a few bars in New Jersey through the years. The Rainbow Inn in Carlstadt, was popular in the 60's and 70's. Eddie Rabbit was a regular there. Later in the 80's he opened The Palomino Club near Paterson.
