I remember.....A slow blooze with a burnin’ fuse and some hoochie cooze was exactly what we all needed on a Friday and Saturday night in Mississippi.... 1958... Allison’s Wells Mississippi to be exact.... The silouhetted couples with their bodies so close together ...Slow dancin’ on the floor in the blue smokey light... We would play long blues solos and try and get the people goin’....We were just trying to move people... to touch their hearts with what we were feelin’ ...Gazin’ off the bandstand and gettin’ a glance every now and then with a smile, nod and a wink... Knowin’ we were doin’ what we set out to do.... It made everything alright.....
This CD will be available soon... on the Majic Music label...

Buddy Harmon - below -
My friend Buddy Harmon passed away the evening of August 21st - 2008. He was one of Nashville's most-recorded drummers. He was 79 years old. Buddy played drums on more than 18,000 recordings, including Roy Orbison's "Pretty Woman," Patsy Cline's "Crazy," Johnny Cash's "Ring of Fire," Tammy Wynette's "Stand By Your Man" and Elvis Presley's "Little Sister," Hank Garland's "After The Riot," in Newport.
He was an early staff drummer on the Grand Ole Opry and among the first prominent drummers in country music history. Buddy and I were in the Nashville Superpickers along with Barry Walsh and Henry Strzelecki and had a record deal with Magnum Force in Europe and also Audiograph in the US. He was a great friend and will certainly be missed.

Influences:
Some of the earliest influences in Mississippi were the Blues Men that would drift through the service station where I was washing chicken trucks... When they would stop and buy gasoline, I would pump it for them and ask them questions about playing the guitar... What a wealth of information it was... Django Rheinhart was a very big influence, but I never got to meet him... Also there were Hank Garland and Scotty Moore, both who were dear friends and absolute giants in the industry...This section will constantly update as I get photos of some of the guys I met..
Here's a guy I used to go watch play in 1958-59 at the Moonlight Inn right ouside of Canton, Mississippi... Albert King... This guy was fabulous and I will always remember him...
Albert King....WOW!!

I want to pay tribute to a guy who really inspired me at an early age to be a motorcycle racer. His name is Joe Leonard and is the only American to win the National Championship in both the automobile and motorcycle racing. Like Joe, I had damage to my right foot from a motorcycle accident... so, while healing, I took up the guitar... Anyhow, here are a few photos of Joe and some of my old motorcycles and bikes...
