TWilson Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I saw that too but was too lazy at the time to post it. That's definitely Graham Parsons in the photo but how you prove it's the same guitar is another matter. He said it had something in it that said "Parsons" and then a phone #. Shoot, it could have been owned by Estelle Parsons!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilliangirl Posted April 20, 2008 Author Share Posted April 20, 2008 Terry, good point! Heck, it could have belonged to Alan or Louella or..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parsons Estelle hasn't put out a good CD in years LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksdaddy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Or Bill Parsons. Bobby Bare recorded a song called "The All American Boy" around 1958, just about the time another singer, Bill Parsons, recorded some stuff at the same studio. Bobby ended up joining the army a short while later. One night, the radio was on and the song was played. Bobby freaked out, "That's ME!".... and then the deejay said, "...and that was The All American Boy by Bill Parsons..." **They mixed the names up on the master tapes.** Bill Parsons never sang a note on that song. Bobby Bare ultimately made a few bucks recording. No idea what happened to Bill Parsons. And that's the useless bit of trivia for today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLiveSoundGuy Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I used to have an apartment maintenance guy named Tony Parsons who used to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPDEN Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 Without an appraisal from a noted appraiser, it's not worth anything more than a regular issue J-50. without it being authenticated, "The Story" is of value to only those who believe it ...

Dr.Tom Posted April 20, 2008 Share Posted April 20, 2008 I would be very suspicious here. Look at the seller's ebay name and let the buyer beware ! Regards, Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
