Rusty Young of course was the Original

And Lindley was the greatest Melobar player

Steve Fishell, one of the nicest men you will ever meet.

Glenn, the wildest Melobar player

                                                          Famous Steeler Buddy Emmons

I never saw Neal play his on stage but he did introduce me to Steve Perry which was cool

Have to have Calvin Cooke if you're going to have a Melobar Hall of Fame
