Paul Yandell

Paul Yandell is one of my all-time greatest heroes. I consider myself very lucky, and my life is much richer for getting to be one of his friends. EP

Here's me and Paul at one of the Home of the Legends contests	Here's Paul playing my Heritage guitar	We had a little fun with Paul at the Goat Ropin' one year	Here he is, autographing his street sign
The name of the street is Paul Yandell Way	Me, Penny, and Paul	The sign made us all look good.

Here's Paul and Eddie at the Cock'o the Walk restaurant in Nashville.	That was a great catfish dinner.	Here's Paul with his new Gretsch NC that he helped design.	Here's proud father Paul with his son Micah. Micah is a great picker in his own right.

"Eddie and I have played together many times and I always get a kick out of it. We have been friends since I can't remember when. The art of playing Travis style centers mainly on one thing: how good of a feel do you have with your thumb. Eddie has one of the best; as they say in Kentucky, 'he can carry the mail' with his thumb. Eddie has come a long way since we first met and I'm proud of him and that I can call him my friend."--Paul Yandell
