The Laudermilk Classic played on an incredible Alvarez-Yairi DY-55 "River Wind Black Jacaranda" that I was lucky enough to find.

I've listened all around to many many covers of this...You're Yairi says it best.

@borrowmeadolla  - thanks for the kind words. I don't know if I can still play it the same way. It's been a while! I like the simpler version of the tune - but I also like some of the really amazing covers like the one Sam Swank performs. GVHLAW

Thanks for the comment. The song is Windy and Warm and was Chet Atkins' signature song. Originally written for Chet by John Loudermilk. The beat goes on. George

Sweet. Love the Chet and the Yairi. I've got a DY-85 from 1974 myself...

Thanks Bear - The Yairi just keeps getting better - aren't they incredible?

Alvarez sucks compare to Yairi handmade guitars. I hope you guys realize Alvarez and Yaria is like comparing Epiphone and Gibson.

Nice playing and nice guitar. I was just lucky enough to purchase a 1983 Yairi dy73 at a yard sale last weekend for only 100 bucks! Great guitar.

A nice arragement. Different than mine. I play a dy90 and a dy54. Quite different guitars, but nice in their own sounds.
