Trying out a very nice new guitar,
playing just anything that comes to mind

Video duration: 298 seconds

A simple swinging tune that is my tribute to Wes Montgomery, my earliest and probably most important influence. I have always loved his music and I cannot play anything that does not have some of his influence. Here I just let it all out....
