Slim,
And I thought the South was rowdy! Reminds me of the Good Old Blue Brothers
Boys Band ...you guys need to play behind chicken wire.
I still think four strings may be pushing it. How about spoons or a jug
(moonshine)....I think I can play AC DC's "Highway to Hell".
I can park my Rhodes right behind Rummy, how long is your driveway?
Wally
