kizanski Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 99 years old. Gone too soon. Hopefully he gets buried in that hat and suit combo, right elbow and knee cocked like he's dancing in the Thriller video. It would be a crime, otherwise. HFC content fulfilled...

Willie G. Moseley Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 I've got a poster in my office that I think is the original lampoon from Hazard Ware---Leavelle's got a '60 ES-335 superimposed, Oswald's got a mic, Ruby's got a lefty '59 Strat...and it's autographed by Leavelle. He gimme one of his business cards, too. The only Hazard Ware t-shirt I've got is the "No You Can't Sit In" edition---even funnier or more bizarre, depending on yer P.O.V.
