Ted plays a Carter D10 but it looks like he's put a sticker over the Carter name.
I had asked him to put a picture of me on there.
Thanks Ted |

If you look carefully it says Carter, but it's kinda blurr. Ted thinks very highly about Carters and quite rightly so. He also always uses either an Evans or Webb amp.

Bernie,
I have some old tunes on Youtube with the MSA and Rickenbacker.Just click on more from VGHester when you are looking at Ted's fine playing.
My current tune on Tilley's site is "Sweet Dreams".

Have thrown all my Camcorders (3)in the trash.Been looking around to buy another one.
Terrble for a former TV Exe to not have a camera???.
This Fibrosis problem has slowed me down quite a bit.

Hi Vernon...that's sweet playing, and thank you for e'mailing me you playing "Sweet Dreams" Paul Wade...Yes Ted did use a BMI D-10 before the Carter. He knew Zane Beck pretty well, I've also got pics of him jamming with Curly Chalker.

| Ted plays beautifully and with soo much feeling. It sounded even better when I closed my eyes and just listened, due to the poor synchronization of the movie/sound |

| Micky, I'll if I can find it and mail it. Cury knew my whole bunch of limits and was a gentlman about the situation. And the geetar I was using had the pedal reverse from mine. Curly kept sayin, 'boy, you have guts'. Ted |

Paul, Hope the picture came thru okay. It's something I always cherished.
One last favor to ask Vernon if he could put 'Home in San Aton'. It was a fun song for me. Ted |

| Paul, you were correct about the BMI. I loved the geetar but admit it weight'd a ton. My hands are payin for it now. I've had 2 surgeries already and need one more. The only clip I know that Vernon may have is 'Faded Love' and ' Faded Blue Jeans'. I'll need to send Vern more $ for his troubles. Vern is a true gentlman. Thanks. Ted |
