Santo and Johnny’s hit has been revisited many times by guitar players.

Is there such thing as too much echo in 50s Rockabilly? 😅😎

A classic ballad from the 50s! ✨Hope you’ll like it ✨

Everyone writing songs dreams of giving birth to a catchy melody that’s guaranteed to stick in your head for ever. “Sadie”, written by wild guitar man Lyndon Needs, has been part of Crazy Cavan’s repertoire on stage ever since they recorded the song. It should have been a hit but it has become a classic instead...well done Mr. Lyndon!

Thanks to Thom Bresh and his priceless VHS Merle Travis lesson...also after an upgrade for the DVD version, many years of practice and knuckle cramps. Merle Travis' Walking The Strings
