It was weird playing for an all male audience! No birds! But of course, thank you for your service! The first & only time on an aircraft carrier! They gave us a tour. & it was unbelievably hugh! Cool memory!

Hi Beau!! If you dont mind me asking,what guitar did you have at that time?? this was before the Rickenbacker?

@@USNVA-yn6cp the recording is from late ‘65 with my rickenbacker through a fender “champ”! The Ventures dug our band & offered us my guitar & a bass for John! They wanted us to use them for our tv performances as promotion! I liked the guitar & used it for stage & studio. This clip is from ‘66 after we endorsed mosrite! Sadly, I don’t have either guitar but I still have the ‘59 “champ”!! Thanks for your interest!

@@beaucharles9934 Very cool story!! Cant thank you enough for the great music and youve inspired lots of guitar players thru the years, myself included, although I love my Tele and Strat and should probably get a Rick someday as well! Stay well!!! As you know well enough, those early Fender champs are the goods!!! Tone tone and more tone!
