I have never heard Alasdair described as "full of himself" before. I have always appreciated his ability to get several hundred people tucked under the shade of a tent, beneath a roasting Texas sun - to breath in perfect unision with the stroke of his bow! They follow every single note from the quietest dribble to the rousingest power chords and are totally enthralled with the accompanying dance around the stage! The man is a master player and very very fine performer.
