Hey Guys,

If you want to get frustrated quickly :-) go to Rebel and Ricky's steel site. Link is on B0B's main page. Once there go to 1956 and you can get a real audio clip and tab of connie francis intro and turnaround of "Then and Only Then". It is fast but it will show you some good triplets. The steel player is Weldon Myrick.

Regards,

Mark T.

try "dont rock the jukebox" by alan jackson sometime too Image

if you dont already have it, CoolEdit 2000 is a great free program to slow down those fast licks (www.syntrillium.com)

Hi, Guys:
Mark meant the 1965 page on the site.

John:
Send me your ICQ #. Had a computer problem Friday and lost all my ICQ contacts. AnneMarie sent me hers already. Have to add you two to the ICQ page as well. Thanks

You are correct Graham. I am getting dyslexic in my old age.

As the Russians used to say "Workers of the World Untie".

Actually, repeat the 13th, 14th, and 15th fret notes, the same way as the 10th fret notes were repeated. .. Jeff

Another good triplet run is on the intro
to Mark Chesnutt's song What a Way To Live, on his CD of the same name.
