The song "I'm Confessing" is a new one on me Ray. I have heard a great deal of Jerry's work but not that one.
Thanks a great deal.
What album is that from BTW?

Thanks for your kind resonse. I felt it was an excellent example of what can be done with C6th........without pedals, if you take the time to study the tuning FIRST. Jerry tuned to: E C A G E C# A, top to bottom, naturally.
This is a tune taken from Tom Morrell & The Time-Warp Tophands. Chris O'Connell did the great, sultry sounding vocal.
Sure hope the rest of you will enjoy it too. Having some glitches in getting the second tune running........but it gives a really clear example of the RICKY "MOAN" as I hear it. I know that some of you are still
failing to recognize this significant BYRD signature sound and wanted to provide you with still another shining example of what the Rickenbacher and Jerry could do together.

Thanks Gordon........

I've managed to get the second tune up and running now and I feel it is one of Jerry's very best, in so far as "SOUND" is concerned.

That little Rick really put forth its bestest sounds on this old King record. Hope you'll enjoy it too.
