BTW, any *country* music was pretty much a no-no in my house, but I was a closet Buck fan and always LOVED his red/white/blue geetar. Plus, how could you not like the fine lookin' gals he was surrounded with ;) Poly

That's a neat little guitar there. .. I used to have a j45 deluxe but i had to hock it to pay the rent. it sounded really good to mej.. i think of it often.. like every time i see it selling for 1600 new. I forget what year this one was but my mom bought it for me in high school used from a hock shop .. oh the irony. well that was sometime it the seventies anyway. Great story behind yours ... I had a great uncle pass away but he didn't will me his hollow body Gretsch .. dammit..... Prolly go to his son who is only a little retarded and will never fully appreciate it. as far as using a slide .. I bet it would sound excellent.. Have joey learn you to tune in open G if you don't know already.

Now THAT's a name I haven't heard in a long time. She dated (married? can't recall!) a meteorologist named Harry Stockman, he was on KCRA and KXTV in Sacto for years and years. I was dating his brother Eric at the time, so our circles overlapped a bit. That's a blast from the past... :-) -- Sue Morton Glennbo wrote: > Oh, I guess you mean more like Barbie Benton!!! > > http://www.barbibenton.nu/images/barbi05.jpg |
