We had fun on a couple of simple blues numbers, and then he says he
wants to do
this instrumental in C called "Sleepwalk." Well, I don't recall the
tune until
he starts playing, and then it hits me... Oh Yeah! Santo & Johnny -
1950's
lap-steel guitar ballad, and sooo beautiful!
....
I LOVE 12th position. Perfect for this song, and so many other non-
blues
classics. Thanks to Chris Michalek, Peter Ruth and other friends who
encouraged
me to pursue 12th to the point where I could feel comfortable enough
to
attempt... and then convincingly PULL OFF... something like this on
stage. Yup,
our last night at Ziggies was a great one...
