Semi Mosely made a neat guitar for Barbara Mandrell when she was recovering from a devastating car wreck...a sense of humor...made a guitar from a walking cane. I had a Ventures model sunburst 1967 Mosrite at one time...was real heavy so I went back to the Strat. Nokie Edwards taught a guitar clinic at the Chet Atkins Appreciation Society that was worth every minute of it. The Astronauts covered Hoyt Axton’s “Green Back Dollar” in a R&R format...more hard electric chords than the Kingston Trio's version. I thought they did a credible job of redoing the song. Dave Clark produced and wrote songs for Freddy Mercury of which two went Platinum. The DC5 had over 50 songs that charted top 50 or better. Several groups took what the DC5 did and improvised and wrote songs like them...ie..”Inside and Out” by the DC5 sounds like and predates the Beatles “I am The Walrus” by two years. It is uncontroverted that Lennon borrowed some of the DC5 ideas. To disparage the DC5 shows that one doesn't know all of the facts about the DC5 and welcome them to the R&R Hall of fame....now where is Johnny Rivers?
