Gee Jla, you a Toto fan? ;^)

The Experience...Jimi was Jimi...but Noel and Mitch were a world class rhythm section...the weakest link in the Jimi Hendrix Experience was Jimi Hendrix! (Just kidding)

Phase: M.M. still doesn't get his just propers to my mind - one of the five most valuable drummers in rock to have ever picked up the stix.

Jla: Nah - I was just joshing you a little...In fact, I suspect the two of us would have fairly diametrically opposed tastes, FWIW. No harm meant, or taken I hope. Cheers, Z.
