Location: Fort Worth, Texas		Had band rehearsal last night, so missed it. It's airing again on our station Saturday at 9:00 and next Thursday at 10:00.

The link I posted contains a decent essay about the history of the guitar.

Here it is:Guitar Evolution by Ed Ward

Location: Tulsa, Oklahoma		I watched it late last night and loved the JJ Cale section where Clapton backed him up on After Midnight... It's amazing how some songs are thought to be written by the person who made them famous then.... the writer gets praised by someone like Clapton...
