Well my two boys (I wish) knocked us out at the GaSGA Peach Jam XIII last Sunday.

These two worked up about 10 songs over the internet and phone, and then got together for a couple of hours on Saturday night to polish everything. WoW, young minds.

Jonathan is playing his Franklin straight into a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe, no effects.

Austin is playing his Emmons Legrande III straight into a Peavey Nashville 1000, no effects.

I think you will "definitely" enjoy this clip.

Bill,
Thats Great. Thanks so much for posting it. Ain't it comforting to know that we have such Very Talented young men, as Jonathan, and Austin to take the reins, and carry on our Great Steel Guitar tradition, when we Old Geezers have aged out. My heartiest congratulations to them Both.
George...

What you talkin' bout Jonathan? It was an honor playing with you on stage. That was a lot of fun even though my fingers wasn't warmed up yet. Thanks for putting up with me buddy! And thanks Bill and the rest of the staff of the GaSGA for letting us play. Hopefully we'll be able to do it again someday.

The last song we did in the set was "Mary Had a Little Lamb." I could not think of anything to play, and Austin suggested it after a conversation we had the night before. I did the same thing with Mr. Bill at a show in Jacksonville, FL, back in 1999 or 2000.
