Clyde,
Thanks, I miss Adkins a lot when I play. He had the instinct to know where you were going and enhance everything you did. We use to do some beautiful harmony on a lot of stuff.
Folks with that talent are few and far between.
Best Regards.

| Vernon: That was a real pleasure to listen to. You have great style. You prove what I have been thinking a lot recently: Great playing comes from the hands, not the pedals. Paul |

Thanks, Paul,
That's very true,You can suck the tone and expressions the way you like them with your hands.
I had the Rickenbacker Pickups rebuilt after I recorded that tune. Wish I had left them alone.

| Way to go Vernon. Sounded great. I have a single 8 Rick that I purchased in 1951. Still is a great sounding little guitar. Jody. |
