Nice arrangement, Steve. Distinctive tones, too.

Inventive, fun and tasteful playing on both instruments.

Thanks for reassembling the sweet dreams and flying machines...

Terrific feel, Steve. You always take the raw musical materials, put 'em in your musical blender, and they come out Steve-ified!

Excellent Steve

Your string bending behind the bar really adds flavor

Excellent Steve.
I had that era Supro Commet. I loved the tone. Regrettably it got stolen. I now have an earlier one - 1950 I'm restoring.

Really nice playing, I like that I couldn't anticipate what was coming next. Question, do most folks do pulls with their pinky? I use my ring finger, but my fingers are much shorter than yours appear to be!

Thanks a lot Andy...I'm stealing that line, lol!

Matt, I think most players pull with their ring or middle fingers.

Sebastian, I use pretty heavy strings.
