Dave Barbour with Peggy Lee

[AndyV]

Peggy with then husband, Dave whose guitar is sporting a strange-looking string damper; doesn't look like a Van Eps damper to me.

[MarkRhodes]

They did a lot of great things together. This is my favorite.

[MarkRhodes]

But this is great too.

Spookily enough I've just been working on a simple Dave Barbour solo as part of Del's Tiny Steps. It was a nice easy solo on I Saw Stars.

[MarkRhodes]

Is this it?

[digger]

That's the one, Mark. Perfect solo to transcribe for someone at my stage of the journey. I got it from a boxset called Hitting On All Six:

which is full of solos just crying out to be learned.
