Any of you fellas from Monroe and remember a guy named Johnny Oneal who played guitar at all the local bars? I know he died a while back, but I lost a CD of his and have been trying to find a way to buy another one. The guy was an excellent guitar player and I always thought he was a hell of a singer.

Damn I didn't know he died... that's a real bummer. Somebody on here will have a way to get you a copy I'm sure.

you might find this hard to believe, but sitting here sober, i can't remember ever listening to him.. I have been told that we might have gone to school together, i think he's a bit younger, though... However, I do know an old gal that was fairly close to him... If you tell me zactly what you want, I'll axe this old woman if she can get it..

I want the CD he put out that was a recorded performance from one of the bars in Ruston or Monroe. It was just Johnny and a guitar. 20 songs or so. It made a box of beer disappear very quickly.

That's what I was afraid of. If I could get a copy I would be happy to cover all the cost associated with this deal (including tenfoe's).

2. tell them what you want or goggle it.
3. all of them know how to burn cd's.
4. i used to get my kids to make me cd's of music, real music all the time..
