Then, it must be a fake TRC.

I posted a lot of videos made up of photos of Suzi Arden and her music on YouTube. She was inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame in Rancho Cordova, CA, in Oct., 2011. We had a good time and I posted her acceptance speech and a jam session also. Her house in Alexandria, VA, is For Sale if anybody has a spare $1,750,000.

Carole, glad we were able to get your RRF logging-on problem resolved and so nice of you to post again. This thread is truly fascinating history and you have shared so much !
Kind Regards

Place an ad in Second Strum! That is where all the non-Rickenbacker related items go, but then, this house may be Rick related, eh?

I'm in Alexandria. I definitely do NOT have 1.7M though.

Hi Carole

Welcome back to the forum. I really enjoyed reading your posts, it added so much to the community! Really wonderful, thank you! That's so great that Suzi was inducted into the Western Swing Hall of Fame! Thanks for posting the videos.
I play a bit of Western swing myself, in fact just got back from a gig at a wedding of two lovely people who met at one of our dances. Lots of great dancing tonight! If you ever make it to Seattle you should come out to The Little Red Hen, lots of great western swing going on there!

Thanks again for sharing with us!

Keith

I love Western Swing!

Let's see:

Fender has Mary Kaye
Gibson has Mary Ford
Rickenbacker has Suzi Arden.

The difference? Mary Kaye's and Mary Ford's guitars are still available and still in production. I, for one, think Rickenbacker should honor Suzi with her own signature model. Not only is Suzi's guitar different than any other Rickenbacker 12 string, but she has certainly earned her place in country music history. I think such an honor is long overdue. Who's with me on this?

Not, any more.

What happened to Suzi's guitar? I must have missed something, as it has been a long time since I saw this thread.

Regardless of what happened to Suzi's original guitar (I read the entire thread that was linked, and it is a shame that her guitar was turned into a Harrison clone), I still stand behind my statement that she deserves her own signature model.
