Chris, you outrageously early talented virtuoso. You might remember me from Heights High, a fellow guitarist who advised "Men who drink water are led to the slaughter, like bears who chew gum in the park." Well, I've been playing every day since then and many many times I've wondered--what has become of that outrageously talented fellow? I'll check out your page. I've been in S.F. since...1980...wow...and it's great, 'cept it's currently being absorbed in a hyper-bubble of yuppies, techies, and Shanghai-like condo-development. I can only imagine what sort of music you've come into since---sheeit!-- perfect Mahavishnu covers and a band that not only sounded, but looked just like Yes. I'm into all sorts of blues, jazz, world, funk, classical (I always "Go for the Joe" when playing blues, which means Verdi). I'm especially drawn to comic satire, political and so forth, and I specialize in parodies. Well,I'm glad to learn you're alive and well--and I see you have family and I wish you the very best in all your endeavors.
