When I saw the recent purchase of Sun Records by Primary Wave, it reminded me of a conversation I had with an early Sun session man. As it turns out, there wasn’t just one Jerry Lee at Sun. There were two. I’m talking about “Honky Tonk” piano session man Jerry Lee “Smoochy” Smith. Smoochy has some great stories to tell about what The Stage Stop in Memphis was like before it was the Stage Stop. Back then, it was Smoochy’s Steak House and Lounge, a steak house fit for a king. You see where I’m going here, right? The King of Rock and Roll was served there. Who knew? Nobody and Smoochy told me why. Smoochy was also a member of the Mar-keys with Don Nix and Duck Dunn. He has stories to tell about Elvis, Jerry Lee Lewis, Sam Phillips, Carl Perkins, Chips Moman, and a few more. We started by talking about his Sun Sessions.
