why was a guy like lonnie mack playing the holiday inn? there is no one better .

@lachute50 That's what I was thinking when I first obtained this video. I've always considered Lonnie Mack as one of the greatest guitar players in the History of Rock N Roll and one of the fastest as well. We could also ask why a guy like this only had one hit record (Memphis in 1963) as well. Then again Chet Atkins never had a lot of hits himself. I guess if you don't have a strong record company backing you all the way then you end up playing at the local Holiday Inn.

oh yes, thank you for the post.

[lachute50]

i guess it's for the best, if the big record companies had gotten him ,they would have ruined another artist.
