It was so popular that men named Mullins, born from about the 19-teens through the '60s, were as likely as not to be nicknamed "Moon". Eventually, tho, the strip came to look rather old-fashioned, and lost papers steadily during its last few decades.</I><BR/><BR/>Mullican is awful close to Mullins.<BR/><BR/>(http://www.toonopedia.com/moon.htm)la peregrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10992459469931809488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-1153287943417429172006-07-18T22:45:00.000-07:002006-07-18T22:45:00.000-07:00Glad to be of service spice.

I recently bought a massive boxed set from Booksale ( that mostly sells remaindered books) for, I think it worked out at 60p per CD, of wonderful old western swing tracks by the likes of Bob Wills and His Western Playboys, The Light Crust Doughboys and many others. They all sound very similar to the untrained ear but some great music on there. Charly have put out some terrific compilations over the years and I wish I could have bought all of them. Also Ace records are doing a similar job in reissuing some fine rarities from that era.Wastedpapiershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833050707322694789noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15815883.post-1153280406968978282006-07-18T20:40:00.000-07:002006-07-18T20:40:00.000-07:00An interesting post and manages to satisfy a long ...An interesting post and manages to satisfy a long standing curiosity that I hold.<BR/><BR/>In the early years of Charley Records I used to get copies of their catalogues and I can remember seeing Moon Mullican albums. I never knew what style of music he played - and in the days before the internet - I didn't know anyone else who knew either. <BR/><BR/>My curiosity is now satisfied. Thanks for that.spice-the-cathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04725781454619802862noreply@blogger.com
