I'm Aware Of The Fact That A Lot Of Talented People Out There Will Never Get This Chance.

In Austin Redd Volkaert Does The Same Thing ... It's Fun ... I Love To Make It A Guitar Thing And The Audience Doesn't Know Any Different - They Think He's Some New Band Member They Don't Know. They Don't Realize Albert's The Reason We All Play Teles!.

You Think Back To Tele Players, And James Burton Was The One Who Started It All. He Inspired Roy Nichols (guitar For Merle Haggard & The Strangers), Don Rich (guitar For Buck Owens & The Buckaroos), And Guys Like That To Push The Envelope And Expand On That Sound...
