Thank you for the Friendship Scotty and for sharing your Music with Us.
Scotty, thank you for the friendship, very kind of you.
Scotty, your display of technical playing at the 2nd annual KC CBG festival left me in awe!! Crystal clear harmonics, soulful slide work, and excellent writing abilities. And you say you've only been playing slide for a few months.....WOW!
hey thanks scotty
Appreciate the friending as much as I do that fine harmonic work you've done on your Sandbox Dreaming video. Always great to see someone pushing the envelope for CBGs.
