Bluesman — If you like JW Sr., have you ever listened to Lonnie Johnson? I'm not wild about his vocal style, but he was an extraordinary guitarist. He was going toward jazz before Josh was, but he didn't, in my estimation, have the same spareness. Josh always seemed to put exactly the right note in exactly the right place, but without making it seem like he was just a technician.

BTW, don't know if you've picked up on it, but there's another M'cat regular who shares our enthusiasm for Josh. I've seen Rick Fielding post a couple of times that Josh is his FAVORITE guitarist.

cheers,
