Plectrology 6 (2001)

Instruments:
I played my '99 Merrill C-18.
Slavek played his '47 Martin D-18.

Recording Equipment:
We recorded this tune using two AKG C414 microphones into a DBX 386 mic pre-amp, and from there, into a Roland VS880 (Expanded) while sitting in my family room. My friend, John Wayne Kasch, did the final mix at "Kingpin Studios" in West Chicago, Illinois. John has always been, and always will be a great freind and source of inspiration.

I am most grateful to Slavek for playing on this with me. I have taken some lessons from Slavek and when I told him that I was going to try to play Gold Rush for Plec VI, he said that he'd gladly "back me up." Slavek told me to play the lead as I wanted to and that he would fill in the rest. I think you'll be able to tell pretty easily who's playing what! Again, thanks to Slavek for not only being a great teacher, but for playing on this tune with me. It was a great privilege for me.

As always, this is for the three loves of my life, Suzi, Erin, and Mackenzie, who have shown me unconditional love and have put up with endless practicing (but, obviously, not enough practicing!). As SK has said, I've played until they've been ready, anyway, to throw something at me.

Thanks to the Flatpick-L and everybody involved with it and Plec VI.

Peace and Love that Flatpickin' Music!
