Thread Name: Riley Puckett?
Subject: RE: Riley Puckett?
Having heard about Riley Puckett from the NLCR for about five years, it was a real eye-opener to hear some tapes of old 78s back in 1966 or so and hear Fuzzy Rag ("now pay close attention to these runs." nobody ELSE was doing that in 1927. I was able (as I've said before) to approximate the notes by using thumb and index finger alternating fast, instead of a flatpick, but always had the feeling I wasn't doing just what Riley was doing. Thanks again Rick.
