I grew up next door to Wes and Marilyn, and his son Matt was one of my best friends. But I never had the chance at so young an age to appreciate Wes' work. Man, what a treat at age 55 to hear this! Really incredible. I tried to post a link to the story of Marilyn giving this guitar to Doug, but I guess utube doesn't allow links in posts. If you go to GIBSON DOT COM and append this to the address you'll get the article: absolutenm/templates/FeatureTemplate.aspx?articleid=103&zoneid=2
@allenelwood I also grew up near their shop, in Granada Hills CA. Like you, I only came to appreciate his music much later in life. Would've been great to meet them!
when/where was this?

Hahaha it´s funny to see that blues, country and jazz musiciens use to imitate other songs.
Its easy to see that the begining of this song is from the music: "move it on over"
