        and now we will pay homage to an original. There's not many........

        In 1963 Lonnie was a session man for one of the labels in Memphis and the female artist who was supposed to record the vocals for this tune was a no show, and with just enough studio time left the recording engineer told Lonnie you only have enough time for one take. And Lonnie proved it was all the time he needed.

              On the subject of butchering a good guitar, somebody did a hack job on Mike Bloomfield's classic Telecaster.. That Butterfield album is one of my all-time favourites..

                        Former bandmate (Blue Moon Ramblers and Hot-Pants Buckaroos) Lawrence Smart builds some of the finest stringed instruments I've ever played. He specialises in the mandolin family, but also has built classic spruce flat-tops and some amazing archtops:
