Western Swing: May 2008 Archives

What's New: Happy Birthday Tiny Moore

Born May 12, 1920, master of the "biggest little instrument in the world" -- the electric, five-string, solid-body mandolin. He spent many years with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys, Billy Jack Wills's Sacramento-based band, and later with Merle Haggard's band.

On May 17, a Texas Playboy returns to Texas to play: "Johnny Cuviello is 92, he can still give Alex Van Halen a run for his money, and he's coming to San Marcos this month to perform at the Western Swing Hall of Fame/Natural Fest program this month on the San Marcos square."
