Lost my sister today

Post by Billy Easton »

My sister Maggie passed this afternoon...in Illinis. Meriul and I will be flying on Christmas day for services. I am working on the SWSGA schedule for the big January show, so please cut me a little slack on getting it together.

We need to turn the TWANG up a little

It's not what you play through, it's what you play through it.

They say that tone is all in the fingers...I say it is all in your head :)
