I'm saddened to hear of Scotty Moore's passing. This is shaping up to be a bad year for losing musical talent. Another guitarist that knew Scotty was none other than Carl Perkins who passed away in 1998.

" Quote" Perkins successfully auditioned for Sam Phillips at Sun Records during early October 1954. "Movie Magg" and "Turn Around" were released on the Phillips-owned Flip label (151) on March 19, 1955. "Turn Around" became a regional success With the song getting airplay across the South and Southwest, Perkins was booked to appear along with Elvis Presley at theaters in Marianna and West Memphis, Arkansas. Commenting on the audience reaction to both Presley and himself, Perkins said, "When I'd jump around they'd scream some, but they were gettin' ready for him. It was like TNT, man, it just exploded. All of a sudden the world was wrapped up in rock." His best-known song is "Blue Suede Shoes

Scotty Moore is another example of an innovative guitarist that not only helped usher in Rock and Roll but also defined what a rock guitarist could be.

Condolences to his family and friends.

Rest in Peace Scotty and thanks for the music .
