Mark,
Best of luck to you with your Emmons Licks Volumes. If I ever decide to play again and run into trouble, I may have you send me a few. Very Happy

Here’s the story behind the 20 string Emmons in the picture. We were a few weeks away from starting the Western Strings album and I wanted to record Linda Lou with a dual string sound. I had been pl ...
