39. Can I be in your will for your WORST 12 string?

I attended a workshop with Kottke in 197----something.

With about 8 other guys. It was great. We all talked about finger style, his right hand technique, weird tunings and REALLY got to listen to his BOZO at 12 feet away.

Great day, altogether.

The next workshop I attended was with Howard Roberts. He was the most recorded studio guitarist in the world at that time.

(He was the dude that did the Wha-Wha section on the soundtrack from "Shaft". Among thousands of other sessions.....)

Motherfucker could read 4 voices in real time. Every time.

I played pretty well when I was a kid - and am honored to have met Kottke, Roberts, Herb Ellis, Joe Pass, and at the same time as Ellis, the man, Chet Atkins.

Met Danny Gatton about a year before he killed himself. Great player.

Saw Segovia a couple of years before he died, Carlos Montoya in '70 or '71....

Frank Zappa and Stevie Vai the year I turned 30 (I think).....

The one player I wish I could have met, alas, who is gone all these years, is Roy Buchanan.

And Robert Johnson, of course....lol.....

Cue Crossroads.....
