Most of the other performers (mainly teen age girls) used sound track. We really had to hustle to get up there and set up because of the time crunch. We went through their little sound system (no amps). We are no longer playing with Ashleigh, so she is doing solo acoustic stuff now.
My 13-year love affair with Emmons push-pulls is over. They are great guitars, but are just too heavy. I really like GFIs and you will hear my GFI D-10 on my original tune that is on b0b's SGF Showcase project. That is not to say that I will never own another push-pull, but it is not very likely.
There I am playing a 78 Emmons push-pull (serial #2441 D purchased from forumite John Swain), using Herby's right-hand position, attempting Hal Rugg licks.
Thank you, Wally! I had to come up with a replacement for the guitar part that begins this intro. It is in C# and I think the original record was in tat key too. Anyway, it sounds a little off up in the "Hughey Land" frets, but I appreciate the nice comments.
Frank, when a song gives me goosebumps, I know it's good. Two reasons for that was- your young Ashleigh
is absolutely country material, great voice and fine stage presence and- you nailed that Hal Rugg intro and it's always been a favorite of mine, just like Hal who came up with it.
Great work y'all and the recording was good as well!
Thank you, Bent! Ashleigh is amazing. At the time, she knew the words to at least 100 songs and could play her acoustic to all of them and they all are not 3 chord country songs. Too bad we had to dis-band. It was fun while it lasted!
