Here's my version of that classic 50's song.
Using my 6 string Magnatone. It has more treble than a Fender, but wanted to try it out anyway.

I think the extra treble helps especially with Santo and Johnny tunes...his playing had a definite "bite" to it. Sounds great!

Thanks everyone.

Doug Beaumier - I got the inspiration for this song from you after watching your version, but got around to recording it until now. I got a lot of time on my hands because of the virus situation.

Steve - yes, a great song indeed. I like it better than Sleep Walk.
