Hey Al, Greg....

Everyone wants to be cool and smooth. Most aren't, and it's painfully obvious...

Wanna see cool? Bust a string, keep ripping cuz you don't need it, then switch guitars about as smooth and cool as can be while performing live....

Fixed that fer ya....

Love that - crowd goes wild after the switch.

SRV was amazing. I had a BIL that was an excellent professional guitarest in his own right. He said SRV must have had fingers made of oak because he played the heaviest strings he could get. Really something to break one!

I remember exactly where I was when I heard the news. Damn shame what happened right here in Wisconsin.
