Hi olddude. Glad the track reached you, and I am not at all surprised at your reaction!

PoppaGator, I have an MP3 of Justa Picker's "Don't think twice" and discussed it with him at the time. The vocalist, who was a friend of his, was not quite on top form on that occasion, but the instrumental work was, as usual, wonderful. But I don't think all the instruments were played by Justa Picker. I know that the late Rick Fielding, who was a hugely respected member of this forum, collaborated on some of the tracks Justa Picker put down at that time. But I can't remember if this track was one of them.

If anyone is interested to hear Justa Picker's work, it might be worth sending him a PM in the hope that he might post a track or two or allow me to do so.(He was last posting here in January.) I don't want to seem precious about this, but having at one time put his music online, he then specifically moved it out of reach of the Mudcat community, with only one or two exceptions. However it is quite possible that he will by now have put out a commercial CD.

On the question of whether he is well known, there was a time when he posted here under his own name. It is the same name as a highly regarded guitar tekkie who has worked with some really topline professionals, but they are not, I think, the same person.
