Hi Jon- Yeah... those would pair well! I love that whole record. What a dream it was to open three legs of the Wildflowers tour. I'll be writing about all that soon. Stay tuned for that.

Thanks, Chuck! My Goodall responds well to that kind of strum. And I have you to thank for turning me on to Goodall guitars!

Thanks, Melissa! And thank you for thanking me for doing what I do! I would do it all in a vacuum but it's extra nice knowing it connects and is appreciated.
