I agree Leo handing Jimmy that Tele back in the 50's at a club in LA
was the real moment that a Tele was given to a certified master
and turned into the the fine insturment that we hear today. Jimmy
was up on a playing level with Les Paul, and Merle Travis back then, and
he took that Telecaster and made it smoke.
From there on the other great moments happened re. Buck and Don,
James Burton doing Mary Lou, Albert Lee working with Emmylou and Ricky Skaggs, and of course Brent Mason Meeting Chet Atkins and getting into the studios and changing the rules on all of us, but the biggie was Leo and
Jimmy Bryant.
