Hope this is okay with Paul.
Here is a clip of me playing two of Jerry's tunes on his Baldwin.
It is a great guitar.

Nice job, Eddie. That will be a memory that will stay with you. Jerry's mojo all over that guitar.

That was probably the greatest guitar I have ever played in my life. What is strange is that even though it has the chopped cutaway, it had a very loud bass response. I almost cried just holding the darn thing! You can't tell from Eddie's videos, but that sucker looked like it had been through Vietnam and back again. It has finish checking, scratches, nicks. I guess it came from sliding around in the back of that old Bronco. That Baldwin was definately a work horse guitar. When I played I thought to myself, "I can't believe I'm holding Jerry's guitar that he recorded with, was on tv with, played it in "What Comes Around", played on Pop Goes the Country, and recorded it with Chet." I will always be grateful for Paul for letting us see it and play it. Paul is one in a million folks.

I think Paul put in more than a few hours into making the thing palyable again. When he first got hold of it I understand it was in pretty bad shape.

Good playing Eddie... very good...

I have some video of Phil playing it too. I'll put some on here today or tomorrow.

Paul is one of a kind. That was one of the greatest things anybody ever did for me and I am sure Phil
feels the same way.

THANKS PAUL!!!!!!!
