Hi Jesse Joe. Your work does not go unnoticed believe me as I watch for you posts regularly and really appreciate what you contribute.
This particular topic sparked a great deal of interest in me as it was the music of Buddy Knox and others of that era that inspired me to learn my very first three chords on the guitar. That of course would be G, C, and D7. And that if I recall would have to be somewhere in the mid? 50's. Several of my friends already knew the basics and showed me how it was done so I was hooked on the guitar from that point. But it was ironically the tunes of Buddy Knox that we all seemed to take an interest in learning. Some of the guys were into lead guitar and that was a real highlight just to watch them produce the great sounds in those days. I remember well the news cast that announced his death in 1999 and it was a very sad and nostalgic time for me. But anyway, keep up the good stuff. Many thanks, Ron J.
