Just recently a
DVD has just been released, of a couple of days Scotty spent at
Abbey
Road Studios
with many of rock music’s star names, and us, his UK band paying
tribute to and playing with the great man who influenced us all
in our musical lives. The day I spent there was surely a
highlight of my musical life, being in the company of such
successful musicians who were all friendly good geezers! “A
Tribute to the King…. by Scotty Moore and Friends” should really
be titled “A Tribute to Scotty Moore”
