@wyoboy ya man for sure on Van.

to paraphrase Traffic “ sometimes I feel so constrained “

maybe that is the point….nothing magic about 5…and nothing magic about starting a top x or n thread alsooo.

re RT: he does float my boat on several levels. Lucky to have caught him live in large and small venues alike. I particularly like the Live in Austin TX CD. 

There are any number of guitarists, blazingly fast with incredible technical skills that I find boring as oatmeal frappe….I don’t dwell on them, nor insist that you ignore…..

carry on
