A FRIEND OF MINE {DEBBIE} POSTED A PICTURE ON FACEBOOK OF WAYLON JENNINGS AND PORTER WAGONER BACK IN THE DAY WITH THEIR FANCY WESTERN SUITS AND SHE MENTIONED THAT THE SUITS WERE MADE BY ""NUDIE COHN"" THE FAMOUS COUNTRY WESTERN DESIGNER. THIS MENTION OF NUDIE TOOK ME BACK TO 1963. NUDIE MADE A LEATHER GUITAR STRAP DYED RED FOR ME IN 1963 WITH MY NAME IN RHINESTONES . DID YOU EVER SEE HIS CAR? [ONE OF THEM} IT WAS A LINCOLN CONTINENTAL WITH PISTOLS FOR THE DOOR HANDLES AND LONG HORN STEER HORNS IN THE FRONT ON THE HOOD, FOR A HOOD ORNAMENT. OUR MANAGER BILL HALE. HE WAS THE BROTHER OF "MONTY HALE" A POPULAR COUNTRY SINGER AND MOVIE ACTOR. MONTY WAS MARRIED TO ONE OF THE DE CASTRO SINGERS {CHERIE DE CASTRO A SWEET GREAT LOOKING LADY}, THE DE CASTRO SISTERS RECORDED THE ORIGINAL VERSION OF TEACH ME TONIGHT, BACK IN THE DAY. THROUGH MONTY AND BILL I CAME TO KNOW NUDIE. NUDIE MADE FANCY SUITS FOR MONTY AND """ELVIS""", AND HE MADE ME THAT GREAT LOOKING LEATHER GUITAR STRAP. THE LEATHER OVER THE YEARS HAVE BECOME VERY FRAGILE, BUT I STILL HAVE IT, EVEN THROUGH 2 DIVORCES AND A FEW RELATIONSHIPS. HA! HA! NUDIE WAS A REALLY NICE AND A GENEROUS PERSON. TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT NUDIE, AND HIS AMAIZING LIFE FROM CHILDHOOD ON. GO TO GOOGLE AND TYPE IN NUDIE COUNTRY WESTERN DESIGNER.
