Terry Hall, a man of few words verbally but so many great words in song. I always admired and envied his sweep of the pen. Take care on the steps above young man.

One of the very first tours we did was supporting Dr Feelgood around the UK, today I saw that Wilco Johnson has passed away. His Telecaster playing and movement on stage inspired me, I loved the way he strutted around making the songs fly like darts to a musical dart board.
