001-Going to Mt. View, Arkansas To Meet An Old Friend.

Hello to anyone who might be reading this..

I have decided to try to put out a Blog to see if anyone is interested. To be honest, I'm not sure if I have enough traffic on the site to get anyone's attention. Not to mention that I really have no idea as to what I should Blog about.

I'm headed to Mt. View to play at the annual Merle Travis Thumbpicking Weekend. It's always great to get out of Nashville and go somewhere. Plus I have so many friends that come up for this that I can't wait to see them, many of which I only see at this event. I also have a friend from L.A. who is coming in to experience it for the first time. His name is Wayne LaFarr. We became friends many years ago when he was the head of Artist Relations for the Aphex Electronics Company. Of course I will be shooting video so you will all get a chance to meet his crazy ass on there. Maybe I should be thinking about making a Vlog instead but I'm not sure at this time what will be the final outcome.

I'm putting my "foot in the water" so to speak so let me know your feelings about all of this. Maybe I'll do a couple of LIVE webcasts either on FaceBook or YouTube. I don't know anything about those either but I'll never know if I don't try.

Take care, and for now, That's All I've Got.. Bresh

I am a life long musician and have been playing a 6-string since 1962. As such I have thousands of songs in my head that I can repeat on cue. I would love to see you add a video of another tune to your website every so often, as an incentive for new viewers to show up. Also... I love your lessons for the rest of us. I am sorry to see that such a modest number of your fans have signed on the blog, but everyone has to start somewhere. I went to CAAS 2 years ago and watched you doing the data gathering for your video. Those videos alone will expand your footprint and net impact. It took me a while to find you, after I started searching for who else was in the company of Chet as a CGP. I am blown away by your double brained talent to be able to control your thumb separately from your fingers. What is the brand and model of the SUPER WIDE SCREEN in your studio space?
