Hey Lynn,
Geez did I say that? About the playing soft in the soundcheck part I mean??
Hell folks, one thing about me......good or bad, & right or wrong..... and anyone who knows me (and has seen me play), will tell you they......* KNOW*..... when I'm picking!! Lol!!!
Again, let me stress this might not always be a "good" thing?
I always have more than a *good* time on-stage, and somehow, my wonderful "Black
Beauty" DeNeve transmits this to the audience.
If you can't hear me, (us, me n "Blackie") then you'd better call the Medics,
because the sound-dude is most likely DEAD!!!
Unsigned in N.H.
ps..."Blackie" n me's never accused o being shy! (or SENSIBLE even....lol)
