I wouldn't usually say this but I recently heard a version by a  
rather well known artist. As charitable as I can be would be to say  
that I thought it was horrid. So, now I feel better.

I will be hosting a demonstration (I hesitate to call it a seminar  
because that generally conjurs up visions of an expert in actual  
teaching mode) lol
I will be covering the 1959 smo-joe tuning/aka 1991 Double country  
tuning. Since there is no backup scheduled for me and I am used to  
playing with living entities, I spent last evening in the studio  
trying to come up with something for the evening show. We shall see  
how far THAT dog hunts.
