That means a lot since you had the greatest jazz guitarist legend to set the standard that all of us lessor mortals had to look up to. All the best to you.
No country influences, but the 6th intervals in the melody are used a lot in country music, so I could understand your comment.
The rhythm is very subtly different than country. A lot of country player to try to cross over to Gypsy jazz don't get the rhythm right. Kevin is and awesome rhythm isn't he?
I'm glad you liked it. Appreciate your taking the time to let me know. Thanks!
Ken you are a great guitarist and a brilliant teacher. Beautiful music. Thanks

Ken,
This is beautiful. Professional as it gets. Hank Garland always said to "keep the melody" or you have lost your audience. This is our kind of music!
God Bless You and thank you so much for being Hank Garland's Friend for all those years. Your guitar playing is the best! You have the Gift.
