I have 13 45's of Johnny Forrer's "The Real Thing" (My Blues, side B) that I found at my late grandfather's house, along with a few small posters used to advertise him. My grandfather played steel guitar even way before then, so I'm thinking he had all these 45's to promote this Johnny. He may have even been the one to play the steel guitar in this demo record. I may never know. The records are in great condition in their sleeves. Not sure what to do with them lol.
