Appreciate it Uncle John! We like Elvis. Hard to believe he was only 42 when he died.

This is a good one!

Thanks Kale! Blue Suede Shoes is not only timeless, but a kick to play. The internet and lighting at a hotel is always an unknown factor. I was pleased to get a workable set up to Zoom with. We had a great time and for me, an engaging finish for the day after 10 hours on the road. Next Monday I hope to Zoom from Phoenix, if the schedule permits. It’s been one crazy summer.

Thanks Alan! The Blue Geeeeetar still needs some work. Version Two of the body has some shortcomings. It turned out to be too fragile, but it survived this trip. It has one more left, hopefully it will go the distance. Still thinking about Version Three.

Such a timeless tune. Kudos for doing it while traveling. Slinging in multiple states.
