- NO WAY!!!!!!!! All I have to do is turn a microphone on and instantly a
- creeping paralysis and idiot-fog seep into my brain and fingers.
- Self-consciousness, the bane of the over-intellectual hot-shot. And if I DID
- send it out and you DID tell me to give up, I'd be floored because I don't

- Are you kidding, kind sir? I may be dumb but I ain't stupid. I'm not
- measuring myself against any REAL guitarists... I just can't seem to truly

- Mike somebody (who posted about Astrud--thanks for the correction--I've had her

- something you think I might like, send it to me by private e-mail.
-
- Happy Hanukah and Merry Christmas and a Good Winter Solstice to ALLMUSIC--
- I'll miss ya... Back in a week.
