Paul,
Thanks for the clarification. I forgot that Hank recorded with George during that period. I guess the point that Weldon was making at the time is how accounts can sometimes be lost or changes can take place. I just find the behind the scenes in's and out's interesting. And yes, Mike is a great guy. I had several opportunities to spend time with him in the 90's. The recording in question is a great example of his talents. The steel work had an interesting twist. He tabbed this out for me back when it was out as a single and mailed it too me. Not something that he had to do.
I appreciate Pauls willingness to share his experiences.

I have dug into my archives and found the tab by Mike for this intro. I have e-mailed for his permission to share. As soon as I get a "Yea" I will share.

I will give it a few more days for a way to contact Mike. After that, I think it may be ok to share it privately with those who ask. I would never post it for public use without consent. Those who would like to have it send me an email.

I have a question. Is Weldon's ride on Right or Wrong done on the C6? I have a Jeff Newman lesson for Right or Wrong that's done E9. Sure sounds like Weldon's.

Weldon's ride was definitely C6. I have a tab for it from the forum.
