Soo.. I need the help of my Anon friends. My mom has the most beautiful voice I have ever hear, but we still do not speak. My choice right now, but she came from a very musically inclined family on her fathers side. So get this we all have heard Pearl Jam's song , Last Kiss.
I was told at a young age , my Great Grandfather wrote the song, and sold it to someone, who sold it to someone, who sold it to someone.
From what I have been told it is a true story. Last name Pedigo, not my last name, my mom's maiden name and it is a true story.

Was his first name Gus? Found this...

Vicki wonders, “In your research on Faron Young, did you happen across the name Gus Pedigo, who played guitar with Faron in approximately 1965-1967, when Odell Martin was off? Even better, would you have any pictures from that time? Gus was a fill in and not a steady Deputy. He did the fair circuit, and did the Grand Ole Opry with Faron once. He was a session player at Owen Bradley Studio at the time and Faron picked him up from that. So many years ago, Gus was only about 22 and is now 70. I live with Gus in Florida and he didn’t keep many pictures or anything. He did the original ‘Last Kiss’ with J. Frank Wilson and Cavaliers, and was at Woodstock and played one song on stage with Country Joe and Fish.”
