My condolences to the Brumley family and all his friends and fans.

Hi Dave. I'm in Palm Beach County. I'll remember you when I buy my first PSG (hopefully this year) and maybe we can do a whole afternoon lesson to get me started.

I suggest you go for a 12 Universal or extended

I'm going to look into getting my first PSG when the economy gets better. It will be my third instrument after six string guitar and banjo, and I know enough theory to play some jazz.

It was a thrill to meet Jay Dee and witness this reunion. He played his Emmons for both show. I'm going to put a full review up on the

As I understand the Buckaroos' history, Buck taught Don how to play lead guitar and handed those duties over to him when he got good enough. I think Don was just a fiddle player when they met. Buck ...

Classic! This is from one his solo albums on Capitol Records in the mid 60s. I wish they were reissued.

WOW! This was the 70's I think. How moronic? How feeble? How futile? How absurd?

Dang that's beautiful. It's one of my favorite songs and I usually don't care for covers, but I really loved it. Your tone is incredible.

He's on the right track for the Jimmy Bryant sound: clean tone, no string bending, all picked notes and some pull-offs. No gimmicks, just good picking. Great job kid! All he needs now is a Fender si ...

I was curious if anyone from this forum will be attending the Desert Rose Band shows in San Diego, San Juan Capistrano, Copper Mt. or San Fran.?

Thanks guys. I have many of the Buckaroos albums from the 60s but need to invest in some later ones as well.

It's too dark to see.. but dang I've listened to this 10 times in the past two days it's so beautiful.

In fact, it was in Charlie Louvin's set lists this year. I really enjoyed it. Someone needs to reissue the albums he did with Capitol Records in the 60s.

Merry Christmas guys! Smile
