Scotty Moore's birthday fell on December 27. I believe that he would have been in his early 90s had he lived. Moore was one of the great postwar guitar players and had much to do with the creation of rockabilly as a musical genre. He has been overshadowed in the public mind by Elvis Presley, Chet Atkins, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison. He taught all of them a thing or two, but he never grabbed and held onto the spotlight as he could have. He was a working guy.
