You dropped out of my Blog a little too soon, I just blogged Ducks Deluxe. I hope you will stop by and take a look. Also, I hope you will come back to the blog.
It was a happy surprise to see you have a MySpace page that you actually read and update. I've been a guitarist for 4 decades and you're one of my favorites, I've been following you from afar all this time.
