    WOW @Faye Fox You really play well!! I can play a 6 string and a 12 string, but only chords. I haven't played for at least 20 years.

    One of my favorite guitarist and one of my favorites tunes of all time originally by Mark Knopfler of Dire Straits. I lost contact with Mark after I deleted my Facebook. Pedro Javier keeps it true but with a "flamenco" styling.

    Well, get them out again, tune up and play! Can you sing? I can't sing a note even close to right, so I went all instrumental. Thanks for kind compliment!

    Lester Pollsfus (Another Jewish celebrity, who changed his name to Les Paul), invented the Electric Guitar and played it with more skill than anyone I've ever heard since, but Chet Atkins comes close.

    Jose Feliciano is amazing! I had the privilege of visiting
    with him and watching him play up close.

    A favorite written by Willie Nelson
    From my solo guitar collection :)

    Hello Walls reflects on my past with a
    guy that sought greener pasture and
    when he wanted to return, I was already
    happy being alone. I had a no return policy.

    Lon and Bill, My dad played harmonica and had several but his favorite was his old Hohner 280C German made Chromatic. It was the most expensive one back in 1950's. He used to play Bach and Beethoven and lots of classical, but some old folks songs also. I was never good with the harmonica and the lure of the guitar was irresistible.
