The JerryByrd-FanClub.com
has posted some new tunes to the site.
The opening page has "TWILIGHT BLUES"....... but due to an error on my part the artist playing the tune is not MR. Byrd as I had fully intended but rather, some obscure wanna-be instrumentalist that apparently thinks he's Jerry Byrd.
I hate to bother my Web Master about this mess-up so I hope you can all forgive my blunder.
I'll get it right next month. Okay?
I'm told the player was using a wrong set of finger picks, namely for an Emmons type 10-string guitar rather than the actual instrument, a six string Ric.
That should explain the audible blurbs. |

Well now, Mr. Hickish..........
As you well know, I'm a busy, busy individual who's age is starting to appear everywhere. I experience lapses of memory quite frequently; shortness of breath; and, nights where my sleep is fitfull.
My record and tape collections got ahead of me some time back, can't remember when it occurred, and now when I want to find a certain song, I'm as lost in my attempt to do so as any stranger might be.
I recognized that JERRY BYRD had recorded this tune many years ago so had the web master pop it into the play cycle for this month.
Much to my total amazement........it was some guy I know not who, playing the song. There was scribbling on one edge of the cassette about "Spokane, Washington" but no name I might recognize.
This glaring error wasn't discovered until after it had been posted to the site so I opted to just leave it up as a discussional item.
Thanks for picking up on it. |

Would a 10 string pick work on a 9 string guitar, or even an 8 string? |
