I was just playing Blue Sky on my telecaster copy last night, I have a Lyx pro guitar that plays better than my Srtat by Fender

 

[Motorcycle Mike]

I have a strat and Fender acoustic.

I just started learning Blue Sky.

Somehow I don't sound near as good as Dickey.

Great artist, RIP Dickey

I started playing in the basement on a Danlectro copy

I taught my kid brother Bob how to play, he decided he would play bass

We started with the Grateful Deads version of Lovelight live with Pigpen belting the song with Janis Joplin live in Golden Gate Park, what an amazing song, tho it was way too loud:laugh:

The rest is history, Bob ( my brother ) went on to found Austin Healy Band with his best friends, I worked for them as a driver, mechanic and stage hand, My youngest brother Bud, ( Todd) was the sound and light man

They toured with Molley Hatchett, 38 Special, and many more

You can catch them on youtube, Bobs Wife videos all their shows

I am flying back home in July for 2 weeks with my wife and our granddaughter, I will be jammin with Austin Healy Band ( The orinal Mn guitar Army and having fun visiting all of my family, I will post pictures and video when I get backThumbUp
