Finale of the All Mosrite Band - Geek Fest #6



Brian Lonbeck and Larry Collins - Comparing notes


This was a great treat for me. . . playing with Buddy
Dughi and Brian Lonbeck at the Geek Fest. Thanks Deke.

Last time to play Alan's Town Hall before presenting it later that eve.


Alan Mills, Larry Collins, and myself with Town Hall #2

Larry Collins and Buddy Dughi - doubleneck salute. It looks like the
TNM BD Special on Larry's T-shirt What the. . .

Me and my wife Elsie - DDGGF 6.
I couldn't make these without her.

Buddy and Suzy playing at the Gretsch booth at NAMM. Where's
the TNM?

Dana Moseley, dauther of Semie Moseley, and myself at NAMM.
I hadn't seen Dana since 1959 when she was just a little toddler
at Semie's home in the SF Valley

Semie Moseley's family circa 1957.
Bob Regan's Doubleneck Mosrite
In need of full restoration, recently uncovered at Andy Moseley's




This was a very special day. Christmas morning 1955.
I was 13 years old and received this brand new Gibson
ES 225T I could hardly believe it. I was a very lucky kid.

A couple of neat photos sent in by Elaine Frizzell.

Susan Ray
These great photos below were supplied by Brian Lonbeck.
Brian played for many years with The Mandrell Sisters
and is a life-long Mosrite picker. And the best dang Joe
Maphis clone around.
(One of these days I might be able
to convert him to a mighty TNM) Enjoy these photos of
the early days with Barbara Mandrell, Semie Moseley,
Joe and Rose Lee Maphis and Elaine Frizzell (one of the
very few that is fortunate to have an original Joe Maphis
Mosrite Special).
