Yes, he plays that song...Did you see it on the computer ? Son made a little video or something and put it out back around the time hubby ...Bear Travis, made a cassette tape to sell...Sold out two printings, but he hasn't made any more tapes....The first record he made years ago sold recently on e bay for about $250.00, son said...And the song he recorded,,,and wrote...Tinkerbell, is on some cd or something in a couple foreign countries...patent expired so they can steal them...and he has an agent , apparently, with no effort from himself....No royalties yet...*grin* He's included in pioneer rock and rollers, rockabilly or something....When son got in touch with the companies they said they'd tried to contact him before using his music...and I don't doubt they couldn't find him as much as we've moved.....He's a good entertainer...Does comedy, sings, and plays thumb style lead guitar like Merle Travis, who's a double cousin , by the way....His practising has never bothered me....and he still plays really well. I don't know if he'll ever do any more recording or not....Jeannie T ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~ On Thu, 9 Oct 2008 15:35:31 -0400 "Smoochie Newton" <smoochieangelpie@gmail.com> writes: > JeanneT...... is that a song that was played by your hubby? > > : ) > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > SOUTHERN-CHAT-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' > without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > ____________________________________________________________ Click here to save cash and find low rates on auto loans. http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL2141/fc/Ioyw6i3ndyH6STNbOubuv2oNC83FOhlR2L1bMqbR1EjpOxdhx0hPbe/

Well..... that's him fer shure. I was looking up "finger picking".....that's how I came across the video. My hubby is taking lessons and the teacher is making him learn to finger pick before going on to anything else (the teacher is a classical guitarist - my fav).....anyhoo....... while watching the video (closely) I did notice that B. picks with his thumb. I'm learning too...... I pick with just two fingers. I really enjoyed the video and will get my hubby to watch it this weekend. I saw something by Merle Travis - will try to find that again. Didn't realize Bear and Merle are related. How wonderful to have beautiful music in the house....... paulette in sw fla usa...... we're going shopping for a shotgun today.... eeeeeeeek!!! would rather be shopping for an acoustic bass but that ain't gonna happen..... xoxoxoxoxo p.s. please tell your hubby I really enjoyed his "pickin' and grinnin'"......
