Hi Az.,

You're very perceptive; it's been about that long. But I can't resist checking in from time to time.

All the names dropped so far are way better than I am; I just get a creative jolt whenever I manage to break new ground. More satisfying than listening to somebody else, but I try to learn from them all.

My all time favorite was Hendrix. His studio work I mean; on stage he clowned around too much. The guy had a knack for discovering sounds nobody had ever thought of before.
