I've been playing guitar since the early 1980s as a hobbiest and songwriter. I'm a decent rhythm guitarist, but I never quite understood how to improvise on lead, and my dexterity wasn't good enough.

I just got word from the chief historian at the US Army Historical Foundation. They want to house "SAT & BAF!" in the library of the National Museum of the US Army! That's very exciting! I'm putting together the donation copy right now.I'm really psyched about it. It's a huge deal! My book is going in the collection at the National Museum of the US Army.
I forgot to update here that they're also putting it in the collection at Pritzker Military Library in Chicago. That's the largest military research library in the world.
I'm proud to in both collections.
This here Texas cowboy appreciates the friendship, partner.
