This crazy unsung professor of Fenderology rocks out at :45 and never cracks a grin.

Thanks, guys.

Tom St.Denis, another unheralded rockin' daddy lost to the ages?

If he's still with us--he easily could be--I wish he'd log in. Man, he helped write the doctoral thesis on the Fender sound! I'm jealous . . . .

I seem to recall reading that Tommy passed, but I can't find a link to confirm. Hopefully my memory is playing tricks on me. He played with a Canadian singer named Honey West - here's some discographic info:

I totally dig his playing - classic chicken pickin' on a classic Fender! And that Campbell guy ain't too shabby on that crazy old Teisco T60. Speaking of Glen Campbell and My Window Faces the South, here's Glen tearing it up with Carl Jackson and Steve Hardin at a breakneck tempo - sorry no steel:
