Thanks for the review Mark. I will be seeing this show on wed. this week.
Paul deLay has the best hand techniques I have seen in a long time. He get
so many different tone colors while he is playing out of a bullet. He also
happens to be one of the most soulful cats on the planet.

The show I will be seeing will have Huey Lewis on the bill. I will let the
list know how the show went.
regards,
Roger Gonzales
