I'm with you Carlzen. We had Spider John in concert here in Toledo Oregon in April of 1997. He did two shows and the first was an afternoon concert for the kids and he was terrific; wore a real cool umbrella hat in homage to our great weather and his evening show blew people aways. Plays this old beat up 12 string and does it ever sound great. Keep in touch as we're looking for a repeat with Spider John sometime early next year..........
