      I just recently started transcribing some of my favorite songs to help with the ear training, I've read a lot about playing scales over "drone tones" to really internalize the intervals.

      Just One Night was a live album recorded on EC's Japan tour. I was at the Budokan concert where they announced, they were recording for a live record, My friend, a drummer said he wanted to see if his voice can be on the record, so on the song cocaine, he delayed his yell, I think it;s on there. By the way, Budokan was designed for martial arts competitions, To my ear, Nakano Sun Plaza had much better acoustics, but manybe its different on recordings,

    On an electric 12 R would be alien to me.

    Have you ever checked out Speedy West and Jimmy Bryant?? They were a big part of Tennesee Earnie Ford's band out in LA in the 50s. They released a couple of instrumental records together as well as apart, but to me while Hank Garland represents that sort of Charlie Christian big band swing guitar style in Nashville session musicians from the 1950s Bryant really stretched the form and I think laid the framework for that Albert Lee style guitar.

      Not that this has anything to do with music, well, I guess it does, but not with this guitar, I guess. Anyway, my daughter is currently taking care of TEF's youngest cousin Rowrena Ford Stone. Her father was Ernie's brother, and he was a preacher. Renie, as she's known, is the youngest of many children, the oldest was her sister who was the same age as Ernie. She used to play guitar, she was a picker, and she gave me her double pick guard rose inlay Palmer classical guitar that she used to play. She's not doing too well now as time is catching up with her.
