Lovely Western Swing playing. I love the way the guitar and fiddle play a unison line in the first song.

I like how he uses D shapes with the capo on the first 5 strings of the 2nd fret, leaving the low E open in the second song

He said that's the only song he uses a capo on- and he does it that way, for what he called letting that low E roll in-

Garland ,

He tells the story that he actually laid off playin til his kids got grown- but, he uses his first guitar he got when he was 17. He's now 63

it's IMS a Houseman (hope that's the right way to spell it)- they were a manufacturer from Kansas who brought a trailer load of guitars to the music shop he worked in in Amarillo- he said he played everyone of them choosing which ones to keep for the shop to sell- and took the one he still has home that day.

Well, I just looked it up- its Hausmann scotthausmann.com/musical.htm not much info though

Flat picking wizard Dan Crary played a Mossman early in his career. A highlight of the Winfield Festival was a guitar trio of Doc Watson, Norman Blake and Dan Crary trading solos on fiddle tunes.

Woody Guthrie DID NOT play a Mossman, but when David Caradine played him in the movie Bound For Glory, a glaring anachronism showed him with a Mossman after his period-correct Gibson was smashed.

I really lusted after a Mossman in the early seventies, but the price was $800, so I settled for my $200 Yamaha FG160 acoustic which I gave to my Ex-wife when we split. One of my sons inherited it and I haven't seen it in years. He plays an Epi Texan these days.
