Honky Tonk - Dave Bass & Frankie Moates

I grew up on the blues as much as anything else. I recall my father playing the guitar solo from this many times; he even wrote his own set of lyrics to it.

Frankie is a great cat. He owns Atlanta Vintage Guitars in Smyrna. We bumped into each other again recently on a church gig. I didn't realize how much he loved the blues until I caught up with him at Fat Matt's Rib Shack one night and we tore into 'Honky Tonk.' Clifford Scott was the original sax player that brought the spit and grit to this piece with Bill Doggett's band.
Frankie Moates, guitar, Ben Gettys, bass, Eddie Tigner, organ, Ron Logsdon, drums.

Is Frankie your dad? He was a good man. I thoroughly enjoyed knowing him. I hope the apple doesn't fall far from the tree! ; ) Be good, and feel free to hit me up anytime.
