"Tone is in the hands. Unless your wife will let you buy a new amp. Then it's definitely in that amp."

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.

They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head :)

Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron

the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.

Man, that's some great stuff. I love it !

It wouldn't surprise me if that was his home made steel, the one that pre-dates the Fender, which he used on the early Buck Owens recordings.

Whatever it is, it's great.

That song was cut in 1965. I was playing lead guitar for Jack Tucker at the time. Moon was playing his Fender 1000 on this one. His tone was stellar at the time.

Hi Ken > Thanks for your comments..

Hi Jim Bob > Thank You for that information.
Nothing like getting it from someone who was there
at the time it happened. The singer had me fooled too.
Moon was sure on top of this one - WOW!!!

Thanks Again for both of your comments!
