Holy Crap can that man play guitar!

Really just thought of him as a pretty standard guitarist until then but he was really amazing and went up several notches in my book. Great both technically and in terms of musicality.

With Rockabilly Riot a couple years ago.

She made me buy her a t-shirt and a couple cds on our way out.

He was amazing. He changed her mind, not just about him but about Rockabilly so much she bought Blasters tickets the next spring.
