Hey Kent,
Your MySpace Page shows your in Ardmore. That's where all my family is from. Mom grew up in Wilson and my dad in Lone Grove. One of my great-uncles was even the Chief of Police in Ardmore about 100 years ago.

We lost another good guy on this date in 1990, my Dad. He wasn't rich and famous, but I think of him every day.

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

Hello Darvin,I can feel your proud pain for you Father.He was rich because he had you and he is Famous because of you. That's how real Buck Owens was to most of us out here like a Father and a true friend. God Bless you and your family and your Father lives on because of you. Sincerely your Forum Brother,Leo J.Eiffert,Jr.
