Ex-Elvis Guitarist in Stable Condition
NASHVILLE, Tenn. - Guitarist Scotty Moore, who played with Elvis Presley for over a decade and helped shape some of Presley's most memorable tunes, was in serious but stable condition Wednesday following brain surgery, hospital officials said.
Moore, 71, was admitted to Baptist Hospital last week after doctors found a subdural hematoma, an accumulation of blood between the brain and the skull, said his longtime companion, Gail Pollock. The surgery was Friday.
Pollock said in a statement posted on Moore's Web site that doctors think he'll be able to play guitar again after physical therapy.
Moore teamed with Presley and bassist Bill Black in the early days of rock 'n' roll to record "That's All Right (Mama)" for Sun Records in Memphis.
Moore continued with Presley until 1968, his guitar riffs helping define other Presley hits like "Heartbreak Hotel" and "Hound Dog." Moore was elected to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000. ___

Well I wish him well too. I hope the physical therapy isn't too bad. I'd say he's paid his dues. |
