Rick,

I've heard that and at first I thought it was kinda hokey, but it sure has grown on me. I love when they fade from the narration at the end of the song to Carter and Ralph harmonizing. To me, that's as good as it gets.

'Spaw, the number of great players who have never or hardly been heard must far outweigh the ones who have. I've been amazed at the quality of musicians I've heard at some local jams. And Rick will attest that I actually live in East Bumfuck.

I have a cousin who is just flat out one of the best guitarists I've ever heard. He loves to pick tunes, sing songs and have a few coldies. A few years ago he retired from the Police department and was contemplating what to do next. I suggested that he get into music. He replied that it would become work for him if he did and it would take the enjoyment out of it. I'm sure there are thousands like him.
