Very thorough, Nick.

Gary Moore? How about covering The Rocker? The kind of song I would love to do, but my guitar player doesn't think is bluesy enough. Regarding my band, we are flying under the radar about as low as you can without hitting trees. Our last demo material is on cassette, if you can believe it. We play out about once every 2-3 months and aren't really motivated for more. We may get some of our next gig on video and upload it, and I'll let you know.

I like the guitar tone you guys get, and my guess is that your rapid Crossroads was the product of some adrenaline and the magic of new chemistry that was working. The Clapton/Cream version gets most of its drive from the bass/lead guitar interplay, and Baker's drumming, except for the fills, is really pretty understated with some high-hat cymbal pacing rather than leaning on the snare so much.

I look forward to hearing more of you three!
