146 Moon Mullican (1909-1967) “I’ll Sail My Ship Alone” 1950

Moon Mullican “developed his musical skills on a pump organ his father purchased…Impressed by pianists who performed in local juke joints, Mullican developed a distinctive two-finger right-handed piano style that became his trademark” (The Handbook of Texas Music). He was called The King of Hillbilly Piano Players and “became the Grand Ole Opry's first singer-pianist” (Rich Kienzle, album cover of Moon Mullican Seven Nights To Rock).
