- Short Fuse Blues is the title, He also plays slide "overhand" instead of
- coming under the neck, he goes over on top of it.
- I have the cd and it's not bad, but not as good as the hype, but worth
- listening to..............................L.W.

- Also the TV was on MTV and a guitar player caught my attention, cuz he was
- playing some kinda-nice-but-over-played-blues-licks and it wasn't bad. Now the
- singer was a complete nut case and the band looks like they could do better,
- maybe get a human as a singer. Turned out it was Pearl Jam the group i blasted
- so heavily when i saw a live clip (mtv awards maybe) and they were terrible.
- The video last night was a much better band (except the thing that was singing)
- I was really ,really suprised, they could be good..I won't become a fan or
- nuthin (not my style), but i can see why people like them......:-)...L.W.
