Would any Forumite have any information about him. Apparently spent some time at Mr. Lucky's Club in Phoenix and played on a live album by Wanda Jackson made there in the 60's.

Mitch,

Thank you for the information.

Did you see him play ??

[Mitch Drumm]

No--I don't know anything else about him at all.

I met Stan in Phoenix just before he passed. I had just moved to Phoenix from Tucson and was working at “Shane’s” just down Grand Avenue from Mr. Luckys. Stan played a ZB Steel and although he was ill at the time, was very nice to me.

This post of mine is REALLY latest (but I just joined the group).
Stan was my teacher at Arizona Music Center, Glendale.
He was point on getting me a ZB D-10, which I just sold and replaced with a Mullen.
I saw Stan play at Mr. Lucky's but had the honor, a number of times to play the Wagon Yard, along side Stan.
I was at NAU when he passed, and after all these years, I'm getting back into the steel
and still have his hand written notes -- we was a master of chord creation and licks; something I didn't appreciate at the time; but I do now.
