Maybe some of you saw this cool photo for bid on EBay last week, of a band that includes a early model Stringmaster. The negative of the photo was actually on bid. The seller was from Pennsylvania and stated the photo was from 1955.

| Yeah, that's who it is. I met that group in 1952 in Kansas. That was of course when I met LT. I think LT is the only surviving member of the 101 Ranch boys. |

Ok guys, here is the scoop.
This photo is of a group called
"The Rockin' R Ranch Boys"
This is a road band L T had after the 101 Ranch Boys days.
The fellow with the mustache is ROCKY REIDEL AND OF COURSE L T ZINN ON STEEL.
L T SAYS HE CAN FIND THE NAMES OF THE OTHER GUYS IF NEEDED.
There you have it, right from the horses mouth!
Thanks LT
Visit LT's web site at: www.LTZinn.com

That is L T Zinn and "The Rockin' R Ranch Boys. A band that was formed after the 101 Ranch Boys Days. The fellow in the mustache is Rocky Reidel and he is a survivor of the 101 Ranch Boys along with Smoky Roberts who still lives in Lancaster PA and L T who resides in Michigan.
These fellows had a reunion is PA 2 years ago at
L Ts family reunion and played together after 40 years.
If you want the identity of the others L T can get those for you.
These fellows played on the road backing up western cowboy stars, etc.
The picture was fun to see as L T didn't have a copy of it.
Thanks for sharing. L T and Evelyn |

| As we looked at the picture we remembered that L T still has that cowboy hat. What would that bring on EBay??? |

Lee: That is indeed a good lookiong Gibson but I prefer the Fender LT is playing !! Can't make an ID on the accordian or the upright. Must be getting too old...
