- Hey thanks--it's fun when whining pays dividends. Yes, this is good advice. I
- like the idea of breaking all the rules. My worst playing is when I try to do
- what I think is "expected" of a guitarist. If I think purely rhythmically
- rather than melodically and get into a totally wild and irresponsible frame of
- wind (which is of course VERY HARD for someone like me to do), then
- occasionally some fun stuff happens... though I never know what I did, but I
- guess that doesn't matter.
-
- And Rev, yes, I would like tape 2 of Kenton!
-
- Isn't it great to say goodbye tearfully to the net and then post again two
- minutes later? OK, this is for real,,,,,,,,,,,,BYE
