How many of you all did licks a while back and that you forgot how you did it? I have to review some old tapes and review what I did. Gettin old I guess.? |

Hey Ted, around 1984 or so I was playing at a club in North Long Beach, Ca. and we had a benefit for out fiddle player who was fighting cancer. Anyway, great west coast lead guitarist Al Bruno came up to play with us and brought a friend who sang "Workin' Man Blues". It was pretty up tempo and after the vocal Al played a ride and then handed it to me on steel. I played a ride that to this day I have no idea how I played it then or how I would do it now mostly because I can't play that fast, maybe it was an "inspired" moment. In any case I'd love to get that inspired again but it ain't happened lately....JH in Va.

| Jerry, I guess it's a sign of getting old? I can't play as fast as I did. I'll keep pluggin. I went to a good therapist and she saw me on U-Tube and told me what to do to better my hand and finger movements. I was impressed by her interest in helping me make the quick movements like the double reverse slants I did on the songs. She was the better professionals I worked with. Montana has good people here. But I'll admit, Billy McCoy was my favorite geetar picker and Reggie Brown my favorite bass player and friends from Texas. Real pros and gentlemen that I worked with. Mike Alexander was my favorite singer along with ol Billy Keeble. Mike could make a simple good ol country song sound great! He sounds like he had his heart in his throat. Good feel. Enjoyable. |
