I like that song to a swing beat and I even like it a touch faster. As always Dale, you play very well.

Thank you Paul... I wanted to do it faster... sadly neither my fingers or my mind will allow it... slowly I'm getting a little faster

Dale, that's a great piece of work. Super nice tones too. That new amp is fantastic.

I guess so. All the clips I hear from that amp are great. I hoped Randy Beavers was coming to the Oklahoma show and bringing that amp. Didn't happen. I wanted a close up and live experience. I would up buying a Telonics TCA 500 from a forum member. Nice amp with a great tone. I'm still working on the proper effects unit for it. I'm impressed by your tone on all your videos. Keep the magic going. 👍

I think? Randy was coming to Dallas this last March, but Dallas was CANCELLED :cry: Hopefully next year.

Telonics makes a great amp, I have the TCA 500C SuperTwin with 2-12" speakers, but probably will sell it at some point ... I just don't have room for all my "Souvenirs" lol ... The Quilter 202 Combo with a 12" Cab and then I added a 15" cab as well, is incredible sounding, and at 27#'s or so would be what I'd pack with me if I played out. The p2p is just a work of art ... There are some really great players using them now. Everything Mike Scaggs touches is Top Drawer/First Cabin type of stuff, much like MSA.

I think you'd really like it Larry... I like it more each time I play though it.

Bill my old friend, haven't heard from you much lately, hope you're doing well.

Well, I'd feel bad for waking someone from a good nap, so I may just keep this one at home, don't want to be accused of waking the dead :D :lol: :D

And thanks for your kind words... we'll have to chat again one of these days

Thanks Damir... I had to go look and read through the comments to know for sure that was the Bad Dawg, but it was. Loving both the MSA and the Bad Dawg ... It's a nice combination.
