    I had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Pearson at The Big House a few years ago. He entertained more than a few people who were fortunate to be on the 3rd floor (because it was raining) at the GAABA members jam that Sunday. He amazed us with his version of Whipping Post played on mandolin! The hair was standing up on my arms!

Blues-Jazz-Rock-Rock-a-Billy- southern rock- he is a master of all style’s. Thank you lord.

    I sold my L5 because i prefer the LP !
    The LP has great sustain , and it responds when I lean on it.
