Mighty fine playing there. Would be great to see a video of you two playing this. Are you playing the lead or the rhythm?

Hi guys: Thank you very much for your kind words. It really does mean
a lot to me.

As for doing a youtube video, that's probably out of the question for
that piece. My musical partner has diabetes and has severe neropathy
in his hands and fingers. We get together these days about once every
other month or so and he can not play for more than a very short
amount of time and has lost so much feeling that it restricts his
ability. I'll ask him about it though the next time we get together.

I am playing the rhythm on that piece. My partner, Tim, and I usually
do stuff that way although occasionally we switch up. He is a lot more
experienced than I, so pulls off the leads better.

As for how we recorded this material was kind of silly. We plugged my
guitar into his mixing board and scotch taped a pair of cheap earbuds
onto the top of his guitar as a pick-up. then he did some fancy reverb
stuff but in retrospect we feel he rolled off to much of the bottom.

I have more if folks are interested in hearing it. We did a sort of
album and called it Strangely Demented. We only ever made a hundred
copies and sold it to our friends and families! 'smirk'

I am working on newer material with another buddy but don't have any
of it ready for primetime. I'm afraid I've always rather sit down and
play than fiddle with equipement and recording gear.

I hope I've answered all your questions but if I forgot something just
ask. A lot of what we did is a bit on the outside for most casual
listeners so I'm never sure what folks responses will be.
