I simply don't have that "country bone"... Can't play it to save my soul. It always comes out sounding like a blues player trying to play country. (imagine that )
Any way, one of our guest artists, a local known as Plumber Bob, is a past New Mexico state fiddling champion, and a heck of a guitar player too. He was wringing out his new Tele this night (The night after I nailed my finger), and we tried to keep up with him on this country tune. 12bar regulars should be able to tell my guitar from his.

A bit different indeed! Very enjoyable. Definitely a "Tele" sound to Plumber Bob's guitar.
There's nothing wrong with a bit of blues crossing over into country anyway - they're pretty closely related I suppose. Bb - I think the blues has permeated your playing so successfully that blues has become part of you. That's why you play such damn great blues.

That's a Jr. Brown tune, btw.
That boy ain't right...,
but he's big on the North Sea Coast of Germany.

No Blues, but played wonderful with lots of soul. Great sound, fantastic country style guitar and voice!

Thanks, Fellers... Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks VB , That has kind of been my goal since I started playing guitar, lo, those many years ago.VikingBlues wrote: Bb - I think the blues has permeated your playing so successfully that blues has become part of you. That's why you play such damn great blues.
