Bobby Durham

[Billy McCombs]

I attended church with Bobby Durhum. Recently he told me that Mr.Moon played on all his Capital records. He and Mood were also good friends.

[Josh Yenne]

Yes I was almost positive it was him just from the playing. I wanted to make sure thank you so much

Whoever this is they are playing in the moon style...I would guess Jay Dee because there is a whole tone 7th string raise and lowering the E's are being used...I don't think Mooney had those changes on his Sho-Bud.

[Josh Yenne]

Hmm.. i was just putting on a shoe to work this out... thanks for the heads up on the 7th string raise as I don't have that one.

[Peter Freiberger]

No disrespect but I don’t think it’s a young Jay Dee. Of course I’ve been wrong before. March 1965. Capitol in Hollywood. I wonder if it might be Red Rhodes?

[Earnest Bovine]

I wonder if it might be Red Rhodes?

Yes, I think it's Red. I don't hear string 7; this sounds like it's on the thinner strings.
At 0:07 the G triad bends to a C triad using his LKL. (This is strings 3,4,5 at fret 11 with P2).
Then a second later at 0:08, strings 3,4,6 and still at fret 11 with P2 down, you hear the A note bend up to B using his P1.

There's one particular change on this record that Red Rhodes wore out on Freddy Weller's first Columbia album("These Are Not My People/Games People Play")and Earnest described it in detail...he plays it on the end of the intro,end of the first verse,and a couple of other times...

I'm going with Red...

It’s Mooney.

I just got off of the phone talking to Bobby and he said it was Mr.Moon with Roy Nicholson on guitar. Everything he did at Capitol records was Moon and Roy.
