He actually swapped a Mosrite neck with Ventures written on it & a couple of old pick-ups. He was the nicest guy in the world & really went out his way to help me out & he didn't have to. I'll never forget that. I think his big hit was called 'Burnin Rubber' b/w 'Twin Pipes' I hope he's still with us. I think he worked at the Mosrite factory in Bakersfield.Peter Harold Cole Pattersonnoreply@blogger.com
