too cool love it



[Sparrowhawk155]

Where's the Commander? Drunk and used up is where he is

[jeferocket9]

Bill's band on that tour was Claude Arthur on bass, Tony Johnson on drums & Austin "Audie" DeLone on keyboards. The other Tele player on stage left is Barney Tower and I (Jeff Levy) am the singer. Barney & I did an opening set and then Bill invited us and fiddle player Jared Stein up to join the band for the encore tunes. Needless to say, BIG FUN!

[tazburgh]

[mtkdiecast]

That was awsome . Heard that this morning on the bay 100.7 in Baltimore . Sounds better than the original .

[waynebootcher]

excellent job!

[noddaz]

Sounds good to me!

Nice job and interesting combo of music and melody

[NickRatnieks]

Crazy! I was thinking that Bill must be nearing his 10,000th gig. Is there anyone out there counting, and is anyone going to give him an award? I was thinking perhaps something like a can of guitar polish and a gold plectrum.

[theycallmebill]

I once asked Bill how many notes he had played on his guitar (which is starting to show a little wear).

Practicing 2 hours daily for 50 years, we estimated around 38 Million.

[NickRatnieks]

Bill got the Tele about 40 years ago- swapped it for his SG with someone he met on the bus in San Francisco. So we need to lower the note total by 20%- so a mere 30 million or so! I am surprised he hasn't worn his fingers off!

[tfantasia]

I knew I liked you, Jefe!!!!!!! Impressive!

Taffy

[mapHead701]

That was beautiful in a twisted kind of way....

[gboutilier]

Very cool!

Thank-Q!
