Lonnie Mack is a killer! His instumental stuff is darn near
unbeatable. Who put out the 2 record set of Lonnie's instrumentals?
I'd love to get my hands on that! I've seen Pete playing guitar with
the Nighthawks, and he's great. But to me, Thackery is untouchable.
Bugs Henderson (from Texas) is another blues-rock guy that does some
very respectable surf.

Lonnie's instrumentals, I wish he would release it on cd. I've
jammed with Pete Cannaris a couple of times at open mic blues nights
in Poughkeepsie NY. He replaced Thackery in the Nighthawks.
