Yeah Chris..

Stirring them the first time is a thrill. Coming back with the stick yet 2 or 3 times while laughing is the real test of dedication.....

Incidentally in my time around Andrews AFB in 75-9, I met some GREAT tele pickers out of the "Waldorf Machine". Probably the best "regular gig guy" was a guy (now possibly passed) on named Jimmy Groves. He played gigs up in the Heights, VB in Morningside, and other things. When he played you could see the sparks. I never got any more "tele" than Jimmy played it.

That was during the DG period and the "Redneck Jazz" effort, though he didn't play "out in the areal" as much as I'd have liked.

What a place.

I think I recognize your picture...

:)
