At one time it was supposed to be the times of day to have a Pepper. The numbers used to be on the bottle.

Oh? I thought it meant: Like CB termology! Like "Back When" the CB was a popular item all across the United States. 10-2 being "your location"..., 10-4 being "I read you loud and clear". No?

Well, it could be, but I am pretty sure it was Dr. Peppers slogan. It would have been 60's or early 70's. Back when Mountain Dew's slogan was "Yahoooo". I wonder if anyone collects old soda bottles, maybe they could tell.

I realize I am telling my age here, but it is referring to the times shown on an old Dr Pepper bottle....10, 2 and 4.

When I was learning this, it made me stop and think back a bit Image Btw, There are some really fun to play licks on this tune... especially the first and last chromatic licks.
