Ye-haw....Matt Murphy.....Steve Cropper.....They have this new Multi-media thingy starring Elvis...Elvis in Concert...but he is taped and on a big screen but there is a live choir and band lead by James Burton. Folks...I jes love James Burtons sound and style.....and still one of his hottest recorded guitar leads are featured in Rick Nelsons recording of "Fools Rush In"......also he is usually credited with "inventing" slinky strings (he took off the wound strings and replace them with unwound...E, A, D, and G strings...so he could get those super blue divebombing string bends. The Guymeister.......
Hey Randy, Back in the 80's McHenry, Miller and Young warmed up Mat "guitar" Murphy(Steve Cropper's counterpart in The Blues Bros.) Coincidence? I think not!
RD, I'm going to have to give that one some thought...and I'm just a little to fragged to launch into it right now - the only keyboard I'm playing these days is the one that sits in front of my computer, & I'm as manually dyslexic at that as I ever was at piano...but I'll see if I can't come up with something...Do you want theory or something step by step practical?

RD....I hear you with the piano riffs.....about six weeks ago I bought "The Best of Fats Domino" and it has all of his big hits and even some lesser ones....it has my fav Fats song "Walking to New Orleans".
Also have some Dave Brubeck(with Paul Desmond and Louis Bellsion) and Oscar Peterson Trio. I know you folks know Big Lots (the store) When I go there I aways check their cdz. I bought the Fats for 3.99...also a Freddie King and a Carl Perkins for the same price....you gotta dig but they are in there!
