Murray...I saw Roy Buchanan by chance, opening for the James Gang and Soft Machine about 30 years ago. I was an immediate electric blues convert. When he was "on" he was stellar, but it's too bad he had personal demons. It's more because of him than Keith Richards that I love, and still play, a Telecaster.

Tony McManus does with guitar what few could do on any instrument. It's a bonus that he remains approachable and personable. He's a curious player, not just that he's different from others, but that he seems to exhibit a curiosity as he plays, explores, and takes risks with each phrase.

Genius doesn't apply to many guitarists, Joe Pass I guess, Django Reinhardt, J.P. Cormier comes real close.

I should be practicing, not 'Catting.

Peace, Mooh.
