You talk about Bakersfield without talking about one of my all-time favs, Wynn Stewart. Amazing singer, songwriter and what a band! If you ask Ralph Mooney even today, who he worked for, he always says he was Wynn Stewart's steel guitar player.

Wynn went to Las Vegas in the early 60's to open his Nashville Nevada club. In his band was Ralph Mooney on steel, Roy Nichols & Buck Owens on lead guitar and Merle Haggard on bass.

Listen to Wynn... Tommy Collins... Red Simpson... Dick Curless...

I love Buck Owens and Merle Haggard but listen to them all!
