I only know DA from recordings I've heard. Saw Alex many time thought. I seem to remember soneone saying that Derrol though that Alex was the best guitar accompanist he ever had.

Alex wasn't the best singer or guitarist in the world but to me he was the most immense performer I've ever seen. His stage presence and act was just incredible. I've never been more affected by any single artist I've come across.

Derrol Adam's song 'Oregon' is one of the best songs I've ever heard. I first heard it on the radio and set my self to learn it. The way it drives itself with the end of each verse driving the start of the next in a continual flow is a unique feature.

Pete Coe recorded it superbly on one of his CD's. I doubt it could be bettered as an interpretation.
