Hawgly,

Great stuff!

I, too, was influenced by all of the above. I tried to emulate Merle Travis then Chet and Doc Watson. "Tried" is the operative verb. LOL

I remember when Duane was in his heyday in the mid-late 50s. Rebel Rouser is still a favorite along with 40 Miles Of Bad Road.

As Bob Hope would say: "Thanks for the memories!"
