Ugg Boot

Guess what I just found out!!!! Well, I'll tell you the story. James Burton, best known as Elvis' guitarist, is hosting the James Burton 2005 Internation Guitar Festival in Shreveport, La. on August 19,20,21. August 20th is the "Blowout Under the Bridge" blockstyle Louisiana party sponsored by the Guitar fest. Guess what band is playing the Blowout? Extreme Caution? Why, that's the band I'm in. You got that right. Here's the best part. James Burton is going to play a few songs with the band I'm in. Our manager told me about that and it didn't sink in really. To some people, this may not be a big deal. But it's freakin' James Burton. Mr. Burton ranks #20 on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Guitarists. Higher on the list is Jimi Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, and Kurt Cobain. Cobain? So, the list isn't perfect but you get the point. Pete Townshend of The Who said in an interview, "James Burton is the most important American guitarist" according to Rod on the Natchitoches radio station KZBL.
