Hi Billy. Listening to that was a great way to start a new day.
Your playing is so smooth and clean, and the sound is perfect.
I've never heard that song played so good, and I enjoyed it.

Wow, that is fresh and light approach to a classic song.
I really enjoyed that.
Did you figure it out by yourself or did you use tabbed material?

Billy I’m just glad you’re not over here in Ventura.
I’d never get a gig.
Seriously it sounds great, new strings or not, you’ve got the touch.

Billy that was a great job on one of my favourites. Good tone. You play with authority. It proves it again..the Emmons is a great recording steel.

What type of backing track was that Billy? You had your mix just right to my ears. Wish I had your technique, very smooth. Could the backing track be emailed or downloaded from somewhere?
