WALLY MURPHY---"SOMEWHERE OVER THE RAINBOW" Cool

Somehow This Tune Sounds Too Sweet For The Wally Murphy We Know From Scotty's Conventions. Smile

The Credits On Screen Indicate That The Recording Was Made In Sanford, Florida.

Rest assured it is one-in-the-same
Wally Murphy that you know from ISGC.
Wally, long-time St Louisian, has for
quite a few years been living in Florida,
about an hour from Sanford.
Wallys keyboard player posted it . . .
Looks like he posted it again ~> here

Yep, That's Wally all right. Known for his hard driving fast fingers, he is capable of extremely sensitive pieces like this. Used to see him regularly in St. Louis and he never ceased to amaze with technical accomplishments and then jump right in to a song like this. Miss those days.

Hi Russ,

I see WALLY front, row left. Can you identify the other 4 guys?
Seems like the photo is from the late 1970s. ??

West-to-East: Wally, Randy Wright, Nick
Nixon, Ray (Raymo) McDaniels & Jim Hoff.
From the Peaches Records & Tapes shirts
I'd say your time estimate is spot on.

Hell of a band. They use to let me set in with them when I was lucky enough to visit.

Wally and his band came out to San Diego in maybe 1983ish.. They played the Alamo for a week… That was a bowling alley and night club combined. It was a 3 piece band, bass, drums and Wally on steel.. They kicked a**… Wally was nice enough to put on a little steel seminar for a 4 or 5 of us and just knocked us out… I still play some of the stuff he showed us that Saturday…

Man, I grew up in St. Louis and I used to haunt Peaches Records and Tapes! I had a bunch of those crates for years, unfortunately I can't even remember what happened to them. Those were great stores, always felt like a mom and pop, not a chain.
