I loved Western Swing and Hank Williams' music, and I now know that it's a 6th tuning that gives you all of those classic licks.

Usually I just let my songs do the talking. As a matter of fact I have long had an aversion to celebrities endorsing politics, and in some cases even other causes. I wonder about their motives. And I have to admit when celebrities get involved in political campaigns I tend to get a little bit sarcastic about it.

Vanz can't dance, but he'll steal your money.

I've also become much more the musician I've always wanted to be.

Washburn's an old American name, but this one was assembled overseas.

I'm now comfortable playing a lot of the old songs, and I've gotten out a lot of the old equipment.

I thought what I was good at doing was playing real simple guitar licks, since I'd cut my teeth on what Duane Eddy was doing; licks that were simple but had staying power.
