No problem. I blame my mistakes on bad eyesight and senility.
@TomSea

You mentioned Link Wray, what was that song you were recommending by him? I've been listening to Link Wray lately. Was it "The Swag"??

There are several,and IIRC,all are on the "Rumble" album that was released around 1973,although all the songs go back to the 50's.
My favorite is "Good Time Joe",but "Backwoods Preacher Man" ain't bad,either.

These are just MY personal favorites. I have never heard him play anything I didn't lile. IMHO,"Good Time Joe" just blows the doors off of anything anybody else played in the 50's.
Dude wore a leather jacket,primary chains,Elvis shades and hair before Elvis,and had song titles like "Switchblade" and "Apache" in the 50's. Had a hard time getting any air play on the radio stations of the time. Nothing controversial about the lyrics of Good Time Joe,but nobody had ever heard a guitar play riffs like that before with all that freaking energy,and it scared the hell out of the Perry Como crowd of moms and pops. You will hear what I am talking about when you play it.
