I'll play along...

That sounded very cool...tone and playing.

Hmmm....I mixed him a few years back. Two channels on the mixer are tracks, backing AND lead vocals. He was aight for about two tunes at soundcheck and blew his voice out. Rest of the eve was either outta tune lowered vox behind the tracks or miming. And the local gden ears who hear the...

That one leaves me cold but once those are available used it might just be a thing...

Uli Roth Jimi Django Don Mock Benson

Yes it seems he did. I just watched that drama. What makes it funny a friend of mine who used to play with the guys old drummer Ken Mary used to think super highly of him, I always thought there was something off about the guy. But just ignored him.

Yeah I had the vinyl when it came out and it was killer sounding.
