Hahaaa! Harry Lime! I think Joseph Cotton may have been playing a Bouzouki.

I slop through a rendition of it on the G6 biscuit board ... more of jam based on a Ghost Riders theme really. I'll be working to figure out new Rockabilly/Surf/Duane Eddy/Dick Dale/etc. material for PSG in the coming weeks. Lotsa good stuff in these posts! It'll take days to go through them all. I ...

I'd like to find a used one with wheels, like a flight case or something like that, before I haul off and order the case that's made for it and double the weight of the instrument.
