Here is an older pic of Georgie from the 70s. This is his '65 P/P Emmons. I think he looks younger these days without the mustache, but that is just me. The derby hat he got from some buddy of his, but his name escapes me...

Hey Farris,

I went through some of my photo archives and found this photo of Georgie when he first started out doing Honky Tonks in the 50s.

Farris,
They say the new big "deep fry" cookers that are used for cooking Turkeys work really great on POSSUM also!!! Maybe you should give it a try? Make sure to save the skin for ol' "JOES HAT"!!!!

Gotta put my 2 cents worth in.. Only been conversing with Farris a couple of weeks but I shore do like him.. Looks like he's got a lot of people on the web that feels the same way including a couple of steel playing ******'s. Keep up the fun, makes a lot of my days brighter.
