I saw Bill Kirchen do this in a stinky little bar on a weeknight for an audience of maybe forty including the bar staff a year before he released this, and there wasn't a jaw that didn't hit the floor. Not only is he the envy of just about every prominent guitarist you can name, he's a gracious, consummate professional. The night I saw him, he gave it up like he was playing for a crowd of forty thousand.

This isn't exactly in keeping with the theme of the thread, but at times it's hard to tell who's playing what and it is damned impressive.

But the gist remains the same.... anything that has the notable flavor/influence of another.

Best subtle attempt to slip a political post into a thread not devoted to politics.

The media seems to want me to go into hysterics about that, so I could not help setting up that pin.  Also, I winked.
