I owned a Night Club in the Houston area and Claude King performed there in 2001. I was also the Piano player that night with his son, Jarome King on Drums, Robin Vosbury and Bill Parish and Buddy C.

We traveled to Nashville for CK to appear on The Grand Ole Opry again in 2008 as Bill Anderson's guest. We were also promoting the New Album. I produced The Cajun Cowboy in 2007. Claude King's Wolverton Mountain was also recorded by some of the nations top artist; Bing Crosby, Nat King Cole, Hank Williams Jr. and many more.

He used this guitar on recordings and on stage various time. I bought the Guitar for him as a gift because he wanted a lighter electric guitar for stage. We picked it out together at Shreveport Music Co in Shreveport, LA.

He was proud because he caught them on his private pond. That night he wanted to give the guitar back to me as a gift of remembrance on June 8, 2012.
