Hey Richie,
Not to be argumentative or anything, but the first time I heard the
"Flintstones Theme" on reso was on a Rick Allred and Kenneth Berrier album
from 1979, titled "Fire On The Mountain." Berrier went on to play reso with
Summer Wages. I wonder what happened to him after that. He was a fine
player who got better every time I heard him.
I agree "The Fishin Hole" that our fellow lister posted is a hoot, and a
fine piece of work. There is a lot of cool stuff going on with resos these
days, but some really creative stuff has been going on for quite awhile.
Cheers,
Jim N.
