Heres a clip of my band -Flat Git it Gang-
filmed at The High Rockabilly festival in Spain
for all the fans of traditional Country, 9 people
makes it a bit diffucult to take gigs, but when we
do its lots of fun.

Nice job Andre, I enjoyed that. Is that you on the tele? That champ sounds incredible.

Thanks Jon, yep thats me allright, and yes the sound was great that night, with
9 people its not easy to get everything in balance,
Nice weekend in Spain, but not much country music, mostly rockabilly people,
but the crowd seemed to liked us anyway

Yes its good to have 20 year old Elsa in the band but
the problem is, no matter how good you play
everyone stares at her anyway

Wait, I'm confused....are you playing Tele or steel? Through which amp?

Elsa looks like a young Marilyn Monroe!

Good stuff!

a Western Swing / Country band we have over here in Stockholm.
In this band the "Flat git it gang" i play the Tele and
Jyrki Juvonen (from Wildfire Willie & the Ramblers) plays
Steel, My amp i mostly use is a 1956 Fender Champ but i also have a 1993 Fender
Pro Junior, looks like that was the one i used this night. Great live amp

Yes, Elsa is great, shes really into the vintage look, old movie stars
and stuff

Thanks Chris

yes that old Tele sounds great, i usually use really fat strings
for that twangy sound, its completely impossible to
do some bending on the guitar, the fingers hurt as hell but the sound
is awesome, thats the important stuff
