Thanks for that. It's amazing Merle Travis was able to produce those sounds with just a thumb and index finger.

So jj.......when might we expect a video of you and your son jamming ?

it would be great to have a quality CD out someday like you and Bryan (Ron and Liam are working toward one!) someday

this Travis style is of growing interest to me...i hope i'm still alive by the time i figure out how to put these thumb picks on

it's encouraging to hear it's all done with the index finger ('cos none of my digits work at all)

you'll be the first to know when the CD/DVD is pressed...if we released one now we'd be pressing nothing more than a DUD
