One of my bosses (the same one that gets me into the NAMM show) straight worships the man. Bought him a drink at the bar just before the show. Friendly dude. Never stopped smiling. (Well of course. We were buying him drink after drink. I'd've been smiling, too.)

Excellent show. Amazing guitar player. Just amazing.

(EDITED TO ADD: The surprise of the show for me was the drummer, name of Virgil Donati. I've seen some drummers in my 56 years, but good god damn, that guy is special.)
