Yes! I don't know what it is, but I'd guess it's a National. > I dig Keb Mo. I saw him a couple years ago at the House of Blues. Just him and a guy that accompanied him on guitar and a few other instruments. He was fantastic, a natural live performer. Played great and really knew how to work the crowd. You should try to rent or otherwise obtain this DVD by Keb Mo: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sessions_at_West_54th:_Recorded_Live_in_New_York A great performance both with a full band and some stuff he does solo. He can play some mean blues on a standard tuned electric in addition to his acoustic Delta blues style stuff. Scott Vita

If you're going to keep it, then a value reduction means absolutely nothing and it looks very beautiful in its new suit of clothes. -- Beav VN 750 Zed 1000 OMF# 19 |
