And what exactly do you mean by "Keith-ism"?
you don't buy it, or what?
I've read that story many times, but this one has few more details, which I'm glad to hear about.
i.e. the Nashville tuning
I learned that from somebody in George Jones’ band, in San Antonio in ’63. We happened to be playing the World Teen Fair together. This guy in a Stetson and cowboy boots showed me how to do it, with the different strings, to get that high ring. I was picking up tips. on another note.
I'm searching for this Exile article. if someone has it please post.
there's supposedly something about where Micawber came from in it.
