Hi all,
Hope this post will find you in good health and spirit.
Last night I decided to do a version of one of my favorite songs, Ray Charles's "You don't Know Me".
I hope you will like it (despite the G string being a little flat).
It's not Surf music, but it's instrumental.
Blessings,
Abdel

Nicely done. Recording a song by Ray would be on my bucket list if I had such a thing. Something off of of 'Sweet and Sour Tears' or maybe 'Genius Hits the Road'.
Thanks for playing that.

Hi all,
Glsd you liked my interpretation of this fabulous Ray Charles song.
TahitiJack,
I actually won this 2009 black & white and Maple neck Mexican Fender Strat in a raffle at Joe's Great American Bar & Grill last year, where I often go to watch some good Rockabilly bands. The guitar sounds surprisingly good and is signed by 6 custom guitar builders for Fender:
- Mark McKendrick - John English - Yuri Shishkov - John Cruz - Todd Krauss - Denis Galuska
It's really fun to play and is perfectly built.
I might put on it the Texas special pickups I bought a couple years ago from Danny Dean.
Blessings,
Abdel
