- Hey, I'm back and I'm here to disagree! Albert King had that great
- bending ability, but not much more, imho. Freddie King played with
- a kind of furious attack, and B.B. has that soft touch. Of the 3,
- I'd put Albert third.

- Picked up the Praxis CD. Yeeha! It's been sitting on the CD player
- since I bought it, with the headphones connected. It needs to be
- *loud* and it scares the family (wife, kids, dog). Great stuff. I'll
- admit to not paying much attention to George Clinton in the past, but
- that guy is the master of funk! And Buckethead is required listening
- for any guitarist. (aside: I heard a tune played on NPR, between news
- articles..."I've heard that somewhere. Wait! It's from Praxis". It was
- the slow tune with the ocean sounds. Ha! They're so hip ;-).
-
- My only complaint about it is that it seems contrived in some places,
- and can be redundant at times. But it still gets 2 thumbs up from me.
