Thanks pick and Jim.

I was going for that tremolo picking thing using my fingers like Dick Dale flat picks, but then I started to get a little slap in the sound so I hit it harder. I started to run up and down the minor pentatonic scale, but not good enough yet.

Lyrics are excellent, but will have to wait. This is so fast I am using most of my brain just keeping the motor turning over.

I had to switch from my index to middle finger after I got a huge blister. Got a matching one on the middle finger and thumb now.

Cool Eric! Sounds almost Dick Dale-ish. Yup, Unc's lyrics work!

Pretty cool.   Kinda rockabilly.   Yeh, rockabilly.  Worth a blister or three.   Needs lyrics.  I am on a kick where every song I try to write opens with, " I got my hat on my head."   That and today somebody else told somebody else they had a bullshit theory.    Hence: 

I got my hat on my head and a bullshit theory.

I'm gonna stay right here playin rock a billy.

Gonna play rockabilly til' my mustache drags the ground....
