@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum You say that Joe and I pray it's true but living here in NE England things are pretty bleak right now With musicians and venues going down the drain Keep on keeping on my friend

Hi Leslie.... thank you very much. I’m very happy you’re enjoying the interviews and equally appreciative for you taking time to send your kind comment. I will get part two out as soon as my editor, Jay McDowell add what ever pictures add to the story. Best........ Joe

Thank you Ed...Ricky is a great friend. I respect him and his family tremendously since I’ve known him. I was sitting in the lobby when I was working at CBS when Ricky came in for his first meeting with the label seeking a recording deal. Ricky raised the bar for all musicians with his albums and live performances. Best.... Joe

Thanks James... Joe

Hi Dave... first thank you for watching and supporting our channel. Second tell me a little about you. As for knowing everyone... well kinda. I started filming these interviews in 2004 and got the museum open 2006. I’ve met a lot since starting the museum but already knew most of the guys from playing, writing and producing and then owning a few guitar stores most of my life before founding the museum. A lot of my friends knew people I didn’t know etc. but like I usually tell people when I get this question... plumbers know plumbers, pickers know pickers:) Since we started airing the interviews on local CBS affiliate channel in Nashville and then on RU-vid last year( 2019) I get a few request to be on the show but mostly I invite them. Thanks again for watching....Joe

​@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Wow, Joe! Thank you for such a wonderful reply. I’m one of those countless names and faces in music that nobody will ever know. Atlanta is my hometown, and Georgia is where I live today. Started out at age 10 in a little band that opened fair dates around the southeast for Kitty Wells and Stringbean. Started doing session work when I was 18 at studios in Atlanta. Later moved to the Memphis area in 1978 and live there until 1983. During that time did sessions at Sun Records Studios and Royal Studios with Willie Mitchell producing. Moved back to Georgia in ‘83 because of family concerns. Since that time I have written and produced themes and bumper music for television shows on Sportsman Channel. Bands I have been in through the years have opened for CCR, Jimmy Hall (Wet Willie), and a number of other groups. Most recently I have collaborated with some pretty successful current Nashville writers. So far, nothing finished or published. Still looking for that big break in my 60s. Haha. Love your channel. Would love to sit down for coffee sometime when I’m in Nashville visiting my daughter. Thanks again for the reply. I am probably your most avid fan. David

David... I’m from Columbus. Moved permanently to Nashville in May 78. Had a band in high school I started in 69. Won Jaycees national Battle of the Bands in 72. Ended up here and did the opposite of my dream of being in a successful rock/R&B band instead becoming a country songwriter. Weird but I loved it too. Thanks for watching... best... Joe

@@MusiciansHallofFameMuseum Nice to hear that a home boy from Columbus done good in NashVegas. August of 1978 was when I moved to Memphis. Come see us sometime down in Jawja...David

Thanks Drum... by the way” you can’t hurt ham?... best. Joe

Hi Vic... part two will come out this week. Glad you enjoyed part one. Best, Joe...P.S Vic.... unfortunately most youtube viewers unlike you only watch the first ten minutes so we have to come back with short clips that people missed for leaving the interview too soon. Our half hour shows get a fraction of the views of the same info in shorter clips. Reason being most folks don’t have a half hour at a time but do have 10 minutes:)... thank you again for your supporting our channel... best.. Joe

Arne...... thanks for supporting us... Joe

Hi James... yes there is more Ricky coming... Joe

Thanks EB...Joe
