This is one of my top three Paul Franklin songs off of his LP "JUST PICKIN"! I bought the album when he first cut it!!!!

I by no means play it like he does and hope to one day!

Paul, sent a PM asking if it was ok to post. Don't know any other way to contact you so if this is not ok i will remove it out of high respect for you!

Thanks!

Mighty pretty, Kenny. ...
That is probably my most favorite of Paul's, also.

... Keep on pickin' and God Bless. ...

Thanks everyone!

I recently took some advice after 30 years of doing it my way and made a change in effects.

My good friend Mike Bagwell told me to take all effects off, even reverb and slowly add a liitle back at a time! Wow, you really get the sense of how effects can hurt as much as they help.

With Mike's advice i think i have the string seperation i have been trying to get back to for years. Just shows that adding more isn't always good.

Thanks Mike and i appreciate your total honesty when i ask what you thought.
It's awesome to hear good and bad for me as a player!

If any of the pro's look at this i really would like their opinions of how i played this. NO, i'm not looking for recognition just always tryin to do better.

Trust me, nobody from a major label wants this old man playin for them.

thanks!
