I wonder where that ZB is now, too. Chances are whoever has it doesn't know it was Ed's, and most likely no one knows what the serial number was.
Kevin, I sold that organ years ago...soon after that pic was taken, if I remember correctly. But, I still have my sgl keyboard Vox Continental that I bought new in '65.

Has anyone heard that great Ronstadt show over on Wolfgang's Vault from '72, the same band as from the youtube link at the start of the topic (Linda Ronstadt - Long Long Time, Midnight Special '73), the Bowdens, McGee on drums, Ed, plus Chris Darrow.. amazing group.. very uptempo and muscular country-rock sound. Ed sounds grat on that show!

I don't think any of Linda's albums really showcased how rocking she could be with her bands.

It's good to get the real info from someone who was actually there. Thanks guys for clearing that up. The Forum is such a terrific resource.

Merry Christmas and all the best to you.

Thought I'd send this to the top for those who would find it interesting.

Thank you, it is very interesting.
I have a Bob Mosley record from 1972, where Ed Black plays steel on one song. Maybe he played the guitar also on this record? It's not clear, 'cause there are no credits (except for the steel) on the cover. The guitar playing is very edgy!

Ed also owned Bobby Fuller's Strat,if I remember correctly it had 9 strings the high strings were tuned like a 12 string I think it was the guitar from "I fought the law".Ed taught me a lot of cool guitar things from Buddy Holly,Chuck Berry and Bobby Fuller,You know when you figure out a lick and then somebody shows you the way it really goes...That was Ed.

I know what happened to the ZB. Gary Brandin got it in California. He let it go years ago and its long gone. I'm in the process of building Gary a new ZB S-10.

I still have his old Fender Amp!

God bless, Ed.

Thanks Russ, great thread, can't believe I missed it originally. Such cool history.

I have a small piece of history myself, owning one of Dan Dugmore's Sho-buds, one mostly used for demos but non-the-less. It may soon have a new life with a cool new project that I can't reveal yet, but might be fun.

Thanks again!
