MOS-RITE (STAN WELCH GUITAR)

[EF@MosriteRecords]

Hi all, it's good to be back on the "Forum". The guitar pictured here is a 1950's
VINTAGE instrument that walked into a music store in 1983. I remember
I could not believe this MOS-RITE was in front of me. The fact that in was
inlaid with a customer's name was really cool. I called Semie and told him what I had in my hands. After a short rundown Semie said I'll see it next time out
to the coast. Which he did. While the guitar I have been told is in a
collection in Japan. I would love to have a discussion by any of you that might
fill in the earlist years of life for this instrument. Before and after the Bakersfield
Bankruptcy. After about 1983 I know what happened. The story that Semie
gave to me is one for another day, (it's a long story). I am not being percise
on year because you get in trouble with again "opinon's. I know what Semie
said, I would love for any you all to "COMMENT".

Love to all. Keep the History Alive!

This was the last time I played this guitar. I had it from 1983 to the early 90's.
Maybe 93-94. It's been a long time ago. This was at a country Jam at at
a Music Store in So. Calif. A taxi driver named Bud Olive I believe. He knew
Semie and in Bakersfield just before the closure. He told me at the time he had
it many years. I wish probably I still had it. Semie had told me it had a special
story. Oh Well. I still have earlier examples.

Good hunting

Wonderful stuff...thanks Elaine! Your memory retrieval 'system' is in excellent shape and I envy you; sometimes I even forget my own name...
