Thanks. I've already missed out on 3 opportunities to see him at the Hampton Beach Casino Ballroom (code word for "Dive/fire trap") and no f'n way I'm missing this show. With a little luck he shows up with his horn section and kills it.

Dick Dale
Jimmie Vaughan
Alvin Lee
Toy Caldwell

Alvin Lee could play with the best of them, Toy Caldwell was a unique player. Charlie Daniels said Toy played the guitar as subtle as a virgin's first kiss or as hard as whore screwing on a Saturday night depending on the song.
