CBS Morning Show had Lyle Lovett's Large Band on this morning 6/4. Buck's harmonics cut through the mix on "Pants Are Overrated ". Beautiful backup on "Twelf of June ". Congratulations Buck!

Just a quick note to say that last week I had a pretty serious mechanical issue with my S-10 GFI that was beyond my ability to deal with. Knowing that he is an ace steel-mechanic I called Buck, who I've known casually for the 30-plus years of both of us playing gigs here in town to see if he might be able to help me out. In spite of getting ready to leave on a very long tour with Lyle Lovett he said he'd be glad to take a look at my guitar.

Not only did Buck fix my mechanical problems, it was a real joy to catch up with him on a personal level while he worked. And then..... he sat down and showed me some of the musical stuff he'd been working on and totally blew my mind. He is without a doubt one of the truly great players of our time. Go catch the current Lyle Lovett tour if you get a chance - I'm gonna try my best to catch it here in Nashville later this summer.

Thanks Buck!

Hi Pete! Thank you for your kind words, glad we could get you up and running again. I also enjoyed visiting and catching up with you, let's try not make it so long before the next visit. :)

Stay well my friend!
