Hey M Ted;

Thanks for the illumination. I've been crazy busy with work (shame we have to work, ain't it??!!) and unable to spend much time posting. I understand the G box position you refer to, but think Lemon used that position capoed in some other tunes, but certainly not as often as he used open C position. He wouldn't have been able to execute those amazing runs from low F up to E flat-E flat-C in G position, for example. What I love about the guy was that he was so unorthodix, regardless of whether he was in G, A, C, or E position. Oops, I'm missing dinner! Gotta run.
