Don Felder:
“You’ve asked for more about my locker of guitars I have. This is one of them! It doesn’t include my four complete rigs of show equipment. That’s in a separate locker elsewhere. For every piece of gear in this locker it’s assigned a number based on WHAT it is. Then I have a spreadsheet using that numbering system with the make/model, serial numbers, descriptions, and photographs! If something goes missing- I will know! Not to mention it makes it easy for myself, or if one of my techs goes in to pick something up for me, to grab exactly what I need with ease.”

Josey Scott: R.I.P. Mrs. Nita Makris, one of the most important people in the Memphis Music Family. You gave me one of my first big breaks in the music business and in my personal life. You gave me a amazing stage to sing my songs on, and a safe home of family and friendships that you welcomed me with open arms into.
So many milestones were reached at your venue The Stage Stop in rockin’ Raleigh in Memphis, TN. I proposed to my beautiful wife Kendra Lynnette there, I saw my friends get record deals there, and I was blessed enough to celebrate my own record deal there along with the other original members of Saliva , I snuck in to see Wayne Swinny for the first time there, Todd Poole and Roxy Blue and countless other stars that came through your musical orbit. Thank Mrs. Nita, for always believing in me, and and always pushing me to be better.
I will miss you and always love you, and the Memphis Music Family. God bless your husband and precious family, and my very deepest sympathies and condolences and love to them at this time of celebration of such an amazing life lived. All my love, JS.
