Sorry for being unclear.  The Reverend Billy G. would be Billy Gibbons from ZZ Top.

 Guess i've been outta the loop a bit too long Blooby. I played those early ZZ albums to death. Shoulda guess'd that...but there are so many pickers....and as for his gear, never read much about that. Consider me enlightened.

Wow I almost missed this.  Really jiving.  Love it.

Great boogie-woogie song - great singing PD!!  Great fun song!!  Luv the way you start your guitar solo out down-low!!  This is a boogie-rocker!!

[Pine]

Thanks again Satch...i was always kinda fascinated with boogie woogie...as far back as i remember. I think my folks had some by a piano guy named Joe Williams and i think i may have even heard some on Lawrence Welk when i was a rug rat. Probably made me tap my foot even then  Thank you for listening.
   Stopped by your SC page and left ya some stars  in your comment section.

I was watching a great Sun Studios documentary this week, with Sam Phillips talking about the slap-back sound. He claims it was pretty accidental, but the minute he heard it, it stuck. That was HIS sound, and now it's a classic.

This is a GREAT song. That boogie shuffle is beautifully executed, and your vocals are perfect. You've really nailed a classic, timeless sound with your mixing. I'm a fan!

I was lucky enough to meet Sam Phillips at a book signing in London before he died. What a wonderful, modest man. I have his autograph. He's possibly the most important man in the history of music.

I think this is the best review i ever got on this tune. Thanks man...some of the specifics in your comments really mean alot to me. I work hard on vocal tones and mixing because my shitty hearing is a constant adversary.
   The "Sun Sound" seems to suit my voice because i have minimal sustain and no vibrato...and it gives it some personality and presence.
   How cool that you met Sam Philips! That is awesome...the guy was truly a legend.
I can still easily remember playing those old Sun records (45's) as a kid...one of my alltime faves was Carl Perkins singing "Honey Don't" The sound quality that came from that studio is still as good or better than anything i hear recorded today.

PDG - You're a one-man boogie-riff industry!! when I get back to my own computer this one is being directly downloaded into my BR-MP3 folder. So that's 2 out of 2 from PDG. I'm having to restrict my listening to one-song-per-artist-per-day, otherwise I'd overdose due to a mixture of awe, pleasure, and sheer artistic envy, and never write anything of my own. 

And guess just what BR recorder I have to upload my stuff to here? Yep, the 1200. No doubt we'll have long lonesome times together with our other 1200 buddy, BB. Probably be back tomorow, PDG, keep on doing these wonderful things, not only are they wonderful to listen to, but they show the range of composition that can be outputted by the 1200.

[Pine]

Thanks a million for the kind words Steve...i'm amazed that anyone ever feels that way about a song of mine. All i can say is, without my 1200, i'd be a boring guy. I'd be limited to coffeehouse performances because without coffee, i'd probably put them all to sleep
   I'll watch for uploads from you and BB. There is too much on this site for me to keep up with anymore...my web time is limited. Thanks again Steve...you made my day!
