There’s a movie, where he walks in on Wes playing.

The full movie is on YouTube. The scene with Wes is at the 16 minute mark.

Worth watching just to see the vintage guitars and listen to the playing.

I liked the rest of the movie, too.

I watched it last night.

I felt bad about the disclaimer ' some names have been changed and some events were fictionalized'......I'm sure that's a legal thing, but it just begs the question ' what's reasonably accurate and what isn't ? :"

Not bad though......

Thanks - - I was glad to see this.

I had never known and it was good to read he'd made it back although w/ limited capacity. I missed that in Gary Burton's autobio, if it was even there. ( ? )

Thanks again.

I bought it simply to see the scene with a fictionalized Wes. Talk about a fan. Yes, many nice vintage guitars that the producers got right.

But I enjoyed the film, even though it slogged down the last half hour.
