Trying out a very nice new guitar,
playing just anything that comes to mind
(with bits of acoustic bass guitar backing thrown in for good measure).
The recording was done straight to mixing desk (no amp), with only very light reverb.

A simple swinging tune that is my tribute to Wes Montgomery, my earliest and probably most important influence. I have always loved his music and I cannot play anything that does not have some of his influence. Here I just let it all out....
