I have never thought of myself in the same category as Roy Buchanan and Danny Gatton-these guys were my heroes, and through them I heard the playing of my other heroes like Les Paul, Chet Atkins, Roy Nichols, Charlie Christian and James Burton. And although I have played different models of Fender and Gibson guitars over the years, (Roy and Danny didn't always play a Telecaster either), I have always thought of myself in my own way, as being part of the "Washington D.C. Telecaster tradition". I always brought more than one guitar on a tour or to a concert, and one of them was usually a Telecaster. There would be a part of the show where I would strap on a Telecaster, joke about "it's Tele time!" and "unleashing the chickens", and for a part of the night everything that I learned or absorbed from Roy and Danny would come pouring out. This is a collection of live recordings showing those influences and my tribute to 2 of the greatest Fender Telecaster guitar players ever. Tom Principato1. Apricot Brandy 2. 8 Counts For Rita3. One For Danny (Dedicated to Danny Gatton) 4. See See Rider 5. Don't Think Twice (It's Alright) 6. Saturday Night Fish Fry 7. Done Daddy Dirty8. Slow Down 9. The Messiah Will Come Again
