I'm getting flashbacks on this. When the topic was posted I started playing along with the recording and really got into it pretty good. The outfit he was wearing on the TV show if I'm not mistaken is the same one that's on the cover of the "Songbook " collection. Red shirt with the buttoned down collar, dark pants, necktie and vest. Yep, that's it! RJ.
