My weekend in Nashville (Tele pickers content)

riggergreg · April 12th, 2005, 09:19 AM

Spent the weekend in Nashville and had a great time. Friday night I went to Robert's and heard The Don Kelley Band. Boy oh boy, That Guthrie Trapp can pick a tele!, and Don ain't no slouch himself, But I found myself spending most of the time watching the Bass player(sorry, I don't remember his name) slapping that standup Bass. The band is really worth seeing if you are ever in town.

Saturday, Went to a Fun jam, and got to meet the Telemaster Bill Hullett, Who showed up with Clay and his other son Wendell. What a pleasure to watch one of the masters play. His son Wendell even did a bit of playing with a cool looking surf green strat. I guess talent just runs in the family. Bill and Clay even gave me a compliment on my Esquire.

So, Bill, It was a pleasure to finally meet you. Clay, good to see you again, and keep after Wendell. He shows a lot of potential, and Guthrie, It was a great to hear you play and next time, I'll make sure I introduce myself. You seemed pretty busy on Friday.

Nashville is a great town. If any of you get a chance, go check it out. A guaranteed fun time

His name is Elio Giordano. He's a great musician and a great guy.

I knew it was something like that, but didn't want to embarass myself by misspelling it

Good to see you again Greg!

It was a big time at the jam Saturday. Playing and then
chatting with a bunch of real nice folks made for a lot
of fun.

There was quite a collection of cool guitars, basses and
amps as well. Probably better than most guitars shows
I've been to in years.

(I regret missing the chili and dogs though.)

My plane barely made it off the ground again!

Yes, a real fun weekend, and I'd do it all over again! I wish it weren't quite so far away though!
