My dear friend for many years, Ray Jenkins lost his wife Dixie today 04/06/13
Dixie lost her battle with cancer about 3:45 this afternoon.
Dixie knew the Lord as her Savior and will be at rest in peace.
Please pray for Ray as he needs our prayers right now.

"Tone is in the hands. Unless your wife will let you buy a new amp. Then it's definitely in that amp."

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 :)

Some of the best pieces of life are the little pieces all added up..Ron

the value of friendship. Old friends shine like diamonds, you can always call them and - most important - you can't buy them.
