All of them wearing suits! Whereas, most of today's male singers and musicians are quite content to record or perform wearing shorts and tank tops, and no socks. :lol: :lol: :lol: .

Quite the spread of charts they had laid out in from of them.
A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

Hard to tell from the pic, but it appears as if both Moore & Garland may have capos on the necks of those big old Gibsons. Too bad Freddie Tavares didn't get in the photo; he's listed in the AFM records as the ukulele player.

I don't think those are capos, they look like the same muting device that Herb Ellis had on his ES-175.
GFI Expo S-10PE, Sho-Bud 6139, Fender 2x8 Stringmaster, Supro consoles, Dobro. And more.
