Next time you change your steel strings or have some time to kill, put on a pot of coffee and give this a listen.

Some great stories on Mooney. How he devoleped his style. Early stuff he played on that you might not know about...with sound clips. The complete back story of the song Crazy Arms and Ray Price’s 4/4 shuffle.

Enjoy....

Kermit

Wow, this is one of the best history stories I've ever listened to. Moon was by far one of the best.

I've read most of his blog stories and liked most of them. He states that Ralph did not play on "It's Such A Pretty World Today"? maybe he meant on just the earlier version. The hit recording was sure a hit steel sound and the same riff is featured on Mooney's solo LP.

Moon did not play on Pretty World. I cannot recall the one that did but it was not Moon.

It must have been Jimmie Collins, then.
