 May 12, 2008 | Happy Birthday Tiny Moore
From the terrific online resources at MandolinCafe.com, This Day in History an important May 12th Birthday. Tiny Moore, (1920-1987) was a renowned fiddler and swing mandolin (5-string eletric) pioneer who spent years playing with Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys. Many do not know he actually had a children's television show for six years in the late 1950s/early 60's. (Talk about pioneer!)
He and his wife operated Tiny Moore Music in Sacramento, CA. One of our favorite Jazz Mandolin recordings was his two-CD duet album with Jethro Burns, Back to Back a must-have in your library.
