Hard to argue with Ry Cooder but Rick Fielding and Tony Quarrington are also world class even if most of the world doesn't know it. They played together in Toronto tonight like they do most Mondays (except for next week which is a holiday) at Hugh's Room.

Even Duckboots, who has heard a bit of picking over the years, couldn't believe the sounds Rick and Tony got out of their guitars tonight when they played without the band. They seemed to be encouraging each other to new heights.
