Thanks for your kind comments. I agree. I have been a big fan of Brian Setzer since his days with The Stray Cats. And I am in complete agreement with you that he can actually play the guitar. I have listened to and continue to listen to his work and always leave thinking "The man can rip like nobody's business".

You bring up an interesting point in that many people believe, in error, that fast and musical fretwork didn't come around until the early 60's. Not so. If they would listen to some Charlie Christian, Django and some of the country and blues pickers from back in the day, I think they would be both stunned and pleasantly surprised.

Thanks again. :)
