Written in 1984 and preformed only during live performances, until finally recorded until 1998 on 4-track cassette, this song was a musical tribute to Randy Rhoads and a short 'musical answer' to his song 'Dee.' Played on a 1975 Hohner 400 N Acoustic and mic'd with a vintage Versadyne PE-57 microphone. A copy of this song on CD was presented to Rhoad's mother in March, 2002 at their home at 931 Amherst in Burbank.

Thanks, Amigo...

I still have that guitar. Most of the frets fell out of it (seriously) and I need to refret it and get it back in action. It was found in a trash dumpster behind a supermarket in Visalia, California in 1995.

Definitely get it back in shape as long as the wood is not warped. Or just play that song on another guitar. It is pretty

The Hohner is solid. It just needs a refret.

Only one copy of this song remains!

I believe that guitar is actually a Danelectro.
It has the distinct lipstick pickup and bridge.

1959 Sears Silvertone #1450, actually....made by Dano. Dad bought it new for Mom in 1960. We still have it...

Yes, Danelectro made the guitars for Sears, and several others.
That guitar is a real gem.

It's in Mom's studio and still sees duty as a house guitar.
